About the Item

Large acacia nun vase by Matthias Scherzinger Limited Edition of 30 pieces, each color each size Engraved brass-label with number Dimensions: L 19 x W 19 x H 73 cm Materials: Acacia: Black stained -colorless Small size available: L 14.5 x W 14.5 x 46 cm Also available in ash: lyed - white, NUN is a wooden vase which is handmade in a very elaborate way. Its base is built by a isosceles triangle growing into a spatial corpus. Although the simple setup – only 3 areas joint together by angles – NUN offers a set of new and interesting impressions from every point of view. Based on the dynamic interplay between shape, geometry and material, NUN becomes an art object full of facets and contrasts. At the same time it can be filled with water and used in the original and functional sense as a vase. This is made possible by the completely sealed inner surfaces. By the choice of wood and surface finish, the material is restaged in a different way. The highlighted wood structure appears like a graphic element and throws a new and fresh perception on the well-known material wood. The interaction of material and shape converts each vase into an art object. NUN is available in two sizes and colors and will be manufactured in a limited quantity of 30 pieces each. It all began in Glottertal, Germany. Born in 1978, Matthias developed early on a deep connection to nature and culture during his childhood. This was supported by the family‘s farming business (field, forest, vineyard, grassland). So, his rootedness in tradition and home arose early. Then, the handling of wood was restricted to the maintenance and care of the family forest. During school, Matthias’ strengths soon became visible. These all happened to be of the artistic kind. Driven by his practical nature, he was destined to start working in skilled crafts and trades after graduation. So in 1999, he decided to start an apprenticeship as a joiner/cabinet maker. Following his first professional years, he felt like a change. Following his inner voice in search of development and self-fulfillment, he initiated a journey in search of his new self. In 2014 he returned to his origins and founded his own furniture label by the name of FREUDWERK - Design & Manufaktur. Initially, FREUDWERK was merely a design studio located in Glottertal, Germany. In the meantime, Matthias owns and operates his own factory in Reute, Germany, where he develops and crafts his creations in a very skilled, careful and elaborate way. Alongside his own collection, Matthias manufactures designs from individual customer specifications. FREUDWERK services deliver conceptualisation, prototyping and serial manufacturing, that is, a wholistic design from beginning to end.
