About us

 

Guided by Shadows. Never Alone.

TANN was founded in Berlin by Christopher Brettingham-Smith and Johannes Weber with the intent to solve design problems, not just to decorate the world.

DEPTH OVER DISPLAY

TANN is not a spectacle. Our designs speak in quiet confidence, drawing those who understand rather than demanding attention. The materials we choose, the shapes we define, and the details we obsess over all carry intent – subtle nods to a world that values depth over display.

LIFELONG COMPANIONS

There is no expiration date on good design. Our pieces are crafted to endure, not only in construction but in relevance. TANN values patina, the slow transformation of our materials as they bear witness to time. What we create is not meant to be replaced but to evolve.

COMMUNITY

One main aim is to bring the world of enthusiasts together – locally and globally. In times where people separate over the smallest details, we seek to connect and share.
TANN is a gathering place for those who appreciate craftsmanship, durability, and the art of refinement. Be it suppliers, customers, patrons, or our neighbours who pop into the studio for a random coffee on a Wednesday morning.
