As soon as humans had settled down, they domesticated the first farm animals, including sheep. This happened around 8,000 BC in the area of the Fertile Crescent. It is therefore literally obvious that sheep and lambs already played a central role in religious symbolism in the Old Testament: as a sign of purity and peace; Christianity even elevated the lamb to a symbol of the resurrection (Agnus Dei, the "Lamb of God"). The decorative sheep is therefore a must around the Christian Easter celebrations, for example in the form of this trusting representative of its kind, felted by hand from pure New Zealand wool. It enjoys an extremely long life expectancy, during which it will inspire you creatively over many Easter celebrations - thanks to its size, it also decorates windowsills, dressers or Sunday tables as a solitaire. And because it is so robust and durable, you can also take it out a second time a year - after Easter is before Christmas - and place it next to a shepherd in your Christmas crib. Because now you know: the first shepherds were tending their flocks of sheep long before the birth of Christ ...

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.
