How it all began…. Fritz was born and raised in Germany on Rugen Island in the Baltic Sea. He’s a wooden boat builder by trade and has worked on sailing yachts for many years as well as designing and making a great number of objects from furniture to kite-boards.
The method Fritz uses to create each handcrafted frame originates from the traditions of wooden yacht building. In homage to this traditional craft, most of the frames are named after the yacht’s “ëngines” and the winds that blow around our globe.
Fritz finds making glasses appealing and challenging on many levels. A craftsmen and inventor as well as entrepreneur and designer, it’s an ever-evolving process, always discovering new insight into his self-made craft. Fritz says, “creating glasses enriches my life with beauty and meaning, two of life’s essential rewards”.
Fritz now lives and manufacturers on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland – each piece in the Fritz frame collection is totally unique, always crafted in wood and each frame individually numbered. These frames are a labour of love in every possible sense and Temple Eyewear are thrilled to present this stunning local collection.
