For example, it is jointed by dovetailing, a classic technique often used in wood furniture.

Fä
FÄ is a leather pendant lamp. the flat leather is pressed into its three-dimensional shape to create a self-supporting structure. the material is reshaped and displaced; it remains organic but becomes stable and rigid at the same time. Pressing the leather to the limit of what the material can endure also brings out its history and organic character. Flaunts, scars and natural character is emphasized. the leather is then lacquered with multiple layers, which encapsules and preserves its characteristics. the suede inside of the lamp is in contrast left soft and unvarnished.
MATERIAL: natural leather. Steel fittings.
MEASURES (h-W-D): 145x380 mm
DESIGN: Karl-Johan Hjerling & Karin Wallenbeck

Havet
HAVET is a cabinet made out of pine. The surface treatment resembles a stormy ocean at night and is created
by combining traditional craftsmanship with an unconventional technique. The pattern is chiselled by hand using an angle grinder. Just like the waves on a windy sea, each cabinet created will be unique. At first, the furniture is built as a classic cabinet with right angles and with fittings, details and interiors in place. The carpenters then chisel out the distinctive pattern – a process requiring as much time as building the cabinet itself. The pattern is carved on all sides and
across all external joints and fittings, creating a monolithic and sculptural gestalt.
MATERIAL: Stained and lacquered pine. Steel fittings.
MEASURES (h-w-d): 1789x860x380 mm
DESIGN: Karl-Johan Hjerling & Karin Wallenbeck

Verk
VERK is a desk based on a drawer. building the perfect drawer is a classic journeyman examination and a measure of a carpenter’s skills. In VERK the drawer is put in focus, with exaggerated proportions and the housing as the actual working surface. the way it‘s set into the steel framework creates space at the sides of the desk, where objects can be hung to or
leaned against.
MATERIAL: Drawer and housing in stained and lacquered elm veneer. Steel fittings. framework in lacquered steel.
MEASURES (h-W-D): 750x1250x600 mm
DESIGN: Karl-Johan hjerling & Karin Wallenbeck
