This coaster is made from many small felt balls. The individual balls of pure New Zealand wool are first felted by hand and shaped into their round form and then sewn together - also by hand. As a trivet, the 1.5 centimeter thick felt carpet pad reliably protects the table surface. The fact that the material is more than suitable for this use is due not only to the heat-insulating properties of virgin wool, but also to the fact that virgin wool felt is one of the most flame-retardant natural materials. It is therefore often used as a covering material in aircraft construction, for example. The felt coaster can of course also be used as a base for vases, bowls or dishes to protect the table surface. Or simply as a decorative element.

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.
