Door wreath felt winter colors

An expressive example of the timelessness of Scandinavian design: this wreath not only proves its worth on doors and windows, but is also extraordinarily attractive as a table decoration - and durable to boot, as the material will neither wither nor dry out. Additional decorations can be attached to the felted wool using pins - such as our Easter eggs or snowmen made of felt or even twigs and flowers that change with the seasons. Throughout the year, the wreath proves to be a universal eye-catcher for all kinds of festivities and celebrations.

During her backpacking tour through Nepal, the Dane Gry Staunstrup got to know the astonishing openness and warmth of the country’s inhabitants, and their craftsmanship bedazzled her. She was able to observe in detail how adeptly and skilfully Nepalese women felted wool into a wide variety of objects. Staunstrup felt it was time to make something good out of the untapped potential, and an idea was born: to combine Nepalese handicrafts with Danish design. And the idea was immediately followed by action.

The company Gry & Sif started producing a variety of products made of wool felt in Nepal in 2000. The designs created by Gry Staunstrup are as remarkable as they are understated and, characteristic of Danish design, at the same time fresh and merry. Nepalese women turn them into products employing traditional handicrafts. Fair Trade certified by now, Gry & Sif stands for fair wages and working conditions, environmentally conscious production and transparency. The company exclusively sources pure new wool from New Zealand sheep for the felting; each of the resulting products is handmade and unique.

This product is an example of genuine handicraft; therefore, minor deviations in size and colour may occur.
