Welcome to the first and only «FREITAG Individual Recycled Freeway Shop». 1993 our living-room view onto the transit-bridge brought up the idea to make tarp-bags. 2006 we decide to sell our bags-made-from-tarps in a shop-made-from-containers.

17 CONTAINERS, 26 METERS
The FREITAG SHOP ZURICH is completely built from rusty, recycled freight-containers. Lovingly they were gutted, reinforced, piled up and secured. Zurich’s first bonsai-skyscraper: Low enough not to violate the city’s restriction on high-rise buildings. High enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

4 SALES FLOORS, 1600 INDIVIDUAL BAGS
The FREITAG SHOP ZURICH is home to the absolutely largest selection of Individual Recycled Freewaybags. And yes, there are really four sales floors. Bonsai ones, that is.

TRUCKSPOTTING
For some it’s just noisy. For others it’s a source of inspiration. The view from the roof of our FREITAG SHOP ZURICH onto the transit-bridge is the same view that started the whole shebang in 1993.

The Geroldstrasse area is largely influenced and shaped by its location between several traffic axes. It contains scattered smaller buildings for vibrant temporary uses as well as intensely used storage wasteland.
The project’s presence enriches the area with a publicity appealing daytime use. By setting the structure back from the street, the span of the bordering wasteland area is marked. While the base contains a retail store, the tower figures as a landmark in the midst of the international traffic axes of railway and individual traffic.
The seventeen used overseas cargo containers were specially selected in Hamburg and fraught to Zurich by railway, where they were stacked and mounted in a very authentic manner, by applying fastener elements used in the shipping industries.
Large windows openings provide the showrooms with daylight, and allow views in both directions: from the inside out and vice versa.
The costumer is led past the range of products, consisting of over 1500 bags, up to an observation platform at approximately 25 meters above ground and thus to as extraordinary view over the city of Zurich, the traffic, the lake and the mountains.
