Gold siskin felt

... is signaled by the male goldfinch when he puts on his splendid yellow plumage during the mating and breeding season. Our goldfinch, however, felted by hand from pure New Zealand wool, shows his beautiful plumage not only to impress his chosen one, but enriches throughout the year your decorative arrangements with a bright splash of color: in spring and Easter as well as in autumn and winter, in a bouquet, on the Sunday table or as a pendant on a small gift.

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.
