By now, the "land where lemons blossom" is probably well known. However, the lemon does not come from Italy, which Goethe so lyrically describes here, but originated in what is now India from the crossing of the bitter orange and the citron. Lemons can also be found in China and the Mediterranean region around the year 1000 AD. From there, they began their triumphal march to our latitudes. The lemon tree, which is still indispensable in orangeries today, prefers the Mediterranean climate, where "a gentle breeze blows from the blue sky", and must be kept frost-free over winter in Central Europe. Thanks to their high vitamin C content and intense aroma, it is impossible to imagine the world's kitchens, perfumes and incense without its fruit, which is also common knowledge today. Admittedly, you can't use this lemon twig in the kitchen. However, the branch with seven fruits, hand-felted from New Zealand virgin wool, shows off its highly decorative qualities - and you can enjoy the sight of it even in frosty winters.

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.
