Johannes Hemann, a German Designer focused on furniture and lighting that celebrates form and materiality in the natural world. Using innovative processes, Hemann explores crafting techniques through hands-on experimenation. The series "Pressed Wood“ is based on the traditional technique of bent wood, but Hemann combined it with pressure to get a different look. The first step is to put pressure on fresh cut wood and divide it into its fibres. Thereafter the traditional bending technique is being used: steaming the wood and bending it into moulds. Finally the fibrous wood with glue being pressed into the mould. Due to the wood being divided into its fibres, it is possible to achieve much smaller radio or to change the nature round base to a rectangular profile, for example, or any other shape that might follow.
