Angel felt

Of the messengers of the God some even claim that they are the message itself. The ethereal beings face man in human form - with one essential difference: they carry wings, symbol of their supernatural being. This is what distinguishes the angels: the closeness to man, the affiliation to the heavenly God. As mediators between heaven and earth, between God and man, they come in peace and bring at Christmas time the Good News of Christ's birth.

The essential features of the angelic figure are taken up in these angel figurines: Freed from plush and pomp, their winged body is simply bent from wire, wrapped with the same New Zealand virgin wool from which the head is felted - thanks to this delicate purism, the angels seem as ethereal as their ancestral appearance. Perhaps they do not whisper audibly "peace", but the message they depict all the more clearly for it: as a decoration of the small gift or the festive table, in the Christmas mobile or window decoration and not least in the branches of the Christmas tree.

During her backpacking trip through Nepal, the Dane Gry Staunstrup was immediately captivated by the openness and warmth of the people - and by their craftsmanship. She was able to observe in detail how skillfully and skilfully Nepalese women felted wool into Objekten. The idea of using this skill and combining Nepalese craftsmanship with Danish design was quickly born. And the idea was immediately followed by action.

Since 2000, the company Gry & Sif has been producing a wide range of products from wool felt in Nepal. The designs supplied by Gry Staunstrup are in typical Danish design, as striking as they are discreet and at the same time carefree and cheerful; the production is carried out by Nepalese women using traditional craftsmanship. Now Fair Trade certified, Gry & Sif stands for fair wages, good working conditions and transparency. Only pure new wool from New Zealand sheep is used for the felt products - each of which is unique and handmade.
