German artist Fritz Baumann creates sculptural seating and vessels that explore the raw energy and character of wood. Working primarily with oak and guided by the spirit of Japanese reduction, he allows natural cracks, tool marks, and irregularities to shape each unique piece.

Imperfections are often reinforced with dovetail joints, while surfaces are charred, iron-oxidized, or lime-washed to highlight the material’s inner life. Balancing tactile, organic forms with smooth, refined planes, Baumann’s works exist between the archaic and the contemporary — living objects that embody strength, time, and quiet beauty.
