The limited edition wooden box belongs to the Black Bowl series and was created in Othmar Prenner's workshop. The handmade tin made of oak wood is lovingly finished after the elaborate drying process. After the tin has taken its shape, it is carefully fired in a fire at a high temperature. This gives it its unique appearance. Finally, the maple bowl is finished with beeswax so that every indentation and the unique play of lines in the wood stand out even more clearly and the special patina of the object is given durability. The bowl can be used as a jewellery box or as storage for small, special things or as a decorative element in the living room.

Wood is a natural and living raw material that can also change, expand and contract over the years.

Each of the Othmar Prenner objects is absolutely unique. They are only available in limited editions.

Beschreibung

The Maker

Othmar Prenner (*1966) is strongly connected to his life and roots in the heart of the Italian Alps. After an apprenticeship as a carpenter, he studied sculpture at the Kunstgewerbeschule für Bildhauerei in Innsbruck and moved to Munich, where he deepened his knowledge at the Kunstakademie. In addition to his work there as an assistant and his involvement with photography, he worked for artists such as Joseph Kosuth, Sylvie Fleury, Jenny Holzer.

After a stay in New York, he felt strongly drawn to the mountains of his childhood, returned to South Tyrol and began working with local materials that surrounded him. He followed the path of generations of farmers who, because of the remote and difficult living conditions, learned to develop objects for themselves based on what nature produced around them. This way of constantly experimenting and developing things for himself led Othmar Prenner to work with different materials such as wood, stone, ceramics, steel, pewter combined with the desire to combine a strong artistic sensibility with perfect craftsmanship. His creations reflect the simplicity and strength of nature and combine timeless aesthetics with a certain "elegance of poverty" of the alpine valleys.
