You have probably often heard and read that a sunflower always turns towards the sun to take a growth-promoting light bath. This is true - but only for a while. In fact, only the leaves and buds of the sunflower follow the path of the sun, a phenomenon known as heliotropism. As soon as the sunflower blossom opens in June, its orientation remains the same: as a rule, it turns permanently to the east, i.e. towards the sunrise (and could serve as a compass in this respect if you need one and there happens to be a naturally growing sunflower nearby). But as summer draws to a close, the annual sunflower also goes the way of all things ephemeral - too bad, because the mere sight of it spreads a sun-warmed good mood. That's why our hand-felted sunflower is made of pure New Zealand wool, which is so durable that you can enjoy it even in the dark winter. It may not follow the course of the sun on its own, but it will bring the sunny promise of spring awakening and summer cheer to your interior every day.

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.

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