Werkhaus Santa Claus stocking to fill

This small Santa Claus boot does not need to be cleaned specifically - just brought out after he was waiting for his renewed purpose since last year. Because as decorative as it looks as a sustainable small gift box or as a place decoration on a festively set table, it is also durable: the ingenious Werkhaus construction of dimensionally stable MDF boards, which are held together solidly by plug-in connections and rubber rings, can be assembled in no time and disassembled just as quickly - to give a little joy again next year.
Where the custom comes from to put a boot in front of the door on St. Nicholas Day instead of hanging a sock on the chimney, can not really be determined anymore. Perhaps people wanted to save St. Nicholas the trouble of squeezing through the chimney, or to avoid traces of soot in the parlor? History is demurely silent about this. The tradition was just preserved, to the delight of children and other favorite people, who are surprised on December 6 with small gifts in previously carefully cleaned boots (or even, as is common in some places, with pieces of coal, if the strict pedagogical expectations of St. Nicholas were not met).

The intelligent Werkhaus construction principle is astonishingly simple and needs no tools for assembly. The individual parts used for these smaller products are made of robust, dimensionally stable MDF (medium-density fibreboard), a board material essentially consisting of fine wood fibres, glue and water. Precisely cut with CNC machines, the pieces fit together easily. You connect them by inserting a peg notched on both sides of one panel through a slot in a second panel. Then you fasten the peg with a rubber ring. The resulting lightweight units are astonishingly stable – despite relatively thin walls. While highly practical in use, they tolerate dismantling and reassembling at any time.

Thanks to their precise cutting of the MDF boards and clean machine processing, Werkhaus is able to construct long-lasting products in a small format that would be much more complicated and therefore much more expensive to produce using carpentry methods. We welcome these smaller products as a valuable supplement to the Werkhaus classic office furniture made of HDF boards. Besides, the visible plug-in connections of peg, wedge and rubber rings create a unique design language – even in smaller formats. From its founding in 1992 to the present, Werkhaus has set store on developing and manufacturing all products at its headquarters in Lower Saxony. We deliver individual parts; however, we assure you: assembling them won’t cause any problems.
