Close ×Johannes Hemann
Johannes Hemann was born in Göttingen, Germany, in 1980. Hemann graduated in 2008 from Offenbach University of Art and Design in Germany, where he studied Product Design. Hemann worked as a design consultant for Stylepark Frankfurt from 2009 to 2010 and then interned with KiBiSi in Copenhagen from 2010 to 2011.
Johannes Hemann founded his eponymous studio in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2011. In 2013, the studio relocated to Ban Sooden Allendorf, Germany. Hemann describes his design aesthetic as organic and process-driven, as he strives to “translate the complexity and diversity of nature into objects and products.”
