About Johanna Dohm
In 2019, Johanna Dohm led the redesign of the modular kitchenware system 'Kern', replacing single-use plastic components with heat-resistant mycelium composites and precision-machined aluminum joints, a project that cut end-of-life waste by 73% and became a benchmark for circular product architecture in EU consumer electronics regulations. Her studio’s 2022 'Tide Line' collection, saltwater-corroded steel trays, reclaimed fishing net textiles, and biodegradable silicone grips, emerged from six months embedded with coastal recycling cooperatives in Brittany and Fujian, translating material trauma into tactile honesty. Dohm doesn’t sketch concepts first; she maps thermal expansion coefficients, supply-chain latency windows, and municipal composting infrastructure limits before drawing a single curve. Her work resists ‘greenwashing’ aesthetics, no leaf motifs or faux-wood finishes, instead foregrounding visible repair seams, recalibration ports, and QR-linked material passports etched directly into product bases.
