Congrats selected as one of the Dwell 24 - ‘s annual roster of the best new talent.
“With her medium of welded metal, Cologne, Germany–based designer Hannah Kuhlmann iterates on the everyday furnishings in our domestic spaces, creating objects that challenge the sometimes antiseptic precision of industrial production. ‘I sketch the objects I envision and bring them to life with my own hands and give them a personal signature,’ she says. ‘The objects I create are more like companions—entities you live with.’ Although perfecting the use of tubular stainless steel in distinctive forms has been her main preoccupation, Kuhlmann has begun to incorporate softer elements but hasn’t left metal behind. ‘When designing a daybed, I no longer think only in terms of upholstery,’ she says. ‘I think of the upholstery as a garment and have begun to decorate my designs with jewel-like adornments.’”
