Kräuterhotel Edelweiss, Rigi
The Kräuterhotel Edelweiss is located on the Rigi, offering expansive views of the landscape. The diverse herb garden and the kitchen are closely linked here.
The Kräuterhotel Edelweiss is located on the Rigi, surrounded by meadows and forests. Its elevated position offers views of the surrounding mountain landscape. The Alpine herb garden is part of the hotel. Numerous herbs grow here, including many ProSpecieRara varieties. Cultivation, processing, and cuisine adhere to a clear philosophy regarding nature and people. This approach is also reflected in the interiors. The rooms were designed with Swiss woods. Materials and their origin remain visible.
In this context, Marcel Bernet's works engage with the location. The sculptor lives in Zurich and has been working on figurative wooden sculptures since 2009. He uses a chainsaw to create the initial forms and then refines them with a brush. The figures emerge from the wood and retain traces of the process. He uses colors and pigments deliberately. His works revolve around human experiences, attitudes, and relationships. They appear narrative yet remain open to interpretation. On the Rigi, they relate to wood, the landscape, and the lived appreciation for nature. The sculptures blend into the rhythm of the place and invite closer inspection.
