When Christmas and wool felt come together in a Danish design idea, the result is an Advent calendar that has the aesthetic quality of a poster. As we know and appreciate from Gry & Sif, this calendar is also felted and embroidered by hand from durable New Zealand wool. Designed with playful attention to detail, small decorative elements, from the Advent star to the candy cane, lend the motif of the house façade a Christmassy flair that draws the eye - thanks to the loose distribution of the decorations, the design remains pleasantly discreet. The 24 windows are sewn on as felt pockets in which you can hide the daily Advent surprise. If a present contains more than one sweet or a small toy, you can tie it nicely wrapped to the firmly sewn metal ring underneath the bag - which can certainly increase the expectant interest of your fellow human beings.

Even when all the windows have been cleared out, all the Christmas carols have been sung, all the presents big and small have been unwrapped and the contemplative silence between the years has returned: leave the Advent calendar hanging on the wall for a while longer to enjoy its quality as a decorative poster. And as soon as you want to redecorate your home, you can roll up the calendar and store it so that it will brighten up your Christmas season again next year.

During her backpacking trip through Nepal, the Dane Gry Staunstrup was immediately captivated by the openness and warmth of the people - and by their high level of 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.

Certain manufacturing steps are carried out by hand. Slight dimensional and color deviations may therefore occur.
