Small reindeer felt standing

This sturdy reindeer, felted by hand from pure New Zealand wool and embroidered by hand, conveys a good dose of artistic freedom. The spots on the gray winter fur signal the animal's youthful age, even though reindeer calves do not have such a fur pattern in nature - at least not as far as we know. But what would Scandinavian design be if it didn't demonstrate charming ingenuity time and again? With this little reindeer, the Danish designer has taken up one of the most common Scandinavian winter motifs, as the Northern European reindeer lives in the polar and sub-polar regions of Europe, where it was even domesticated by the Sami people - the only deer species in the world. While the animals up there undertake migrations of several thousand kilometers to find sufficient food, this little reindeer stands for many seasons in exactly the place you assign to it and enriches your winter decoration with its (snow) white spots.

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.
