Wreath felt star winter colors

Winter is a wonderful time for stars - first and foremost the Christmas star, which has been a mystery for 2,000 years and showed the Magi the way. And while to this day Sirius, Capella and Rigel shine so brightly in our wintry night skies as if they were everlasting, we humans add decorative star elements to the winter and Christmas decorations in our homes. Like this hand-felted wreath in the shape of a star, which dabs the typical colors of winter - snow white, berry red, stone gray - in the window, on the door and on the decorated Sunday table. Made of pure New Zealand virgin wool, the wreath star may not come as close to eternity as Sirius, Capella and Rigel, but it is so durable that it will enhance your winter and Christmas interior design for more than one season.

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.
