fyrabig 2001
by: Stefan Furrer
In a global world and English as its universal language I take comfort in knowing that there are a still words in other languages that are so unique they can’t be adequately translated into English.
The Swiss word "Fyrabig" is one of those. The closest I can come up with is: "calling it a day", but this is still far from its meaning, that includes "rest" or "leisure" after a days work, to "feast and be idle" after long working hours.
I built this loveseat as a present for my wife, who tends to garden into the late evening hours, hoping she would join me on the bench for a beer and to celebrate the evening.
You know you got the seat just right, if the cat loves to hang out there all day.
I used cedar, copper rivets and mixed my own milk paint after an old recipe.
