Namaste Shrine by Christian Friedl

About the Item

Namaste Shrine by Christian Friedl Unique Piece. Dimensions: D 55 x W 160 x H 182 cm. Materials: Oak, gold leaf. Namaste tells his story... I am a shrine where you can store your most precious treasures. My body is made of solid oak. On my wood surface, you can still see the cut of the band saw, you can feel the original haptic structure that was undoubtedly created solely from the finest craftsmanship with the great dedication of the creator. It is additionally brushed, dyed, and protected with natural oil. Open my two doors and you stand in front of an „altar“ – a magnificent piece of jewelry. Inlays made of bog oak are finely handcrafted in my eight marked and softly closing drawers, and smile at you. 19 intertwined circles, the oldest of which was found around 5.000 years ago in the temple of Abydos in Middle Egypt, from the center of my back. The 90 petals are carefully made from an old bog oak, which also dates back to this time. Embedded in 24-carat gold leaf, they shine for you full of splendor of their captivating simplicity. Christian Friedl Longing is a funny thing. Some people have it, others follow it - and sometimes it is the particularly difficult times in life that remind you of what lies dormant within you. That's exactly how it was for me. The path to this was marked by a break from crafting. After all, it was 23 years and hundreds of exciting projects that I implemented together with many great customers and architects before I grappled with the question of what my life still had in store for me just before my 50th birthday. And that is exactly what brought me back to my professional roots: working with the living and sustainable material wood. Over time, I discovered that I was not made for the system. Returning to this very special material showed me where the path leads, although for me the creative process with and around the material wood is the main focus.
