Personal Altar #furniture #bronze #modular

Which things are irreplaceable? It is found, given, bought. Together they are memories in form of an object. Stacked like a Totem the cited forms stimulate an individual and freely inter­pretable use: hang, place, hide. The cast rough bronze surface takes itself back, embodies no trend, but consistency and gi­ves the objects placed on the religion-independent altar a safe place.

Bronze is poured hundreds and thousands of years ago, buried, dug up again and mixed with much older bronze. What was it before – a sword, a sculpture, or an everyday object? A dying and being resurrected. The bronze stands for consistency as well as survival and carrying of history and me­mories. The theoretical confrontation with the material was inspiration to create a save place that respects personal memories.
