Carl Hahn describes himself as a furniture maker but to the outside world he is a natural sculptor. His method seeks to introduce the intense harmonies of landscape to indoor environments. It creates a tension between the purely practical world of furniture and that of beautiful sculpture. Carl uses a highly physical process of stripping away wood to simulate the weathering created under extremes of natural conditions. The work starts with the trade of the cabinet maker and is finished by the arts of the sculptor. The furniture is finally dressed with handles found on his walks on beaches and woodlands.

Carl exhibits throughout Europe and the US.
