Friedemann’s work is so baffling when you see it in person, that you immediately want to know how he made it. His wooden bowls are extremely light and delicate – they’re unnaturally thin. They are clearly a single piece of wood – a section of a tree’s trunk. But how did he make it so thin and light? Given the scale, one wood assume they are heavy, but they’re light as can be. A worthy comparison would be the granite bowls and jars of ancient Egypt – also remarkably light and thin – although a very different material. And beautiful - just gorgeous - did I mention that part? Friedemann’s wooden bowls are truly exquisite.
