He explored the effects of heat and experimented with the possibilities of the age old craft of forging at an early age.

Lehmann has worked across the globe on numerous projects from private estates to five star hotels, working hand in hand with foremost architects and designers. In pursuit of Art, Lehmann started in 1995 with his sculptural work. Inspired by nature, and people, Lehmann has never ceased to forge, twist, and shape forms and figurines. His material medium has varied from recycled steel to experimenting with glass, bronze and wood.
