It should not actually freeze, because its enormously dense plumage reliably protects the real penguin from the Antarctic cold. The plumage of the emperor penguin, for example, consists of about 30,000 feathers, the down portion of which provides excellent insulation of body heat. In addition, penguins spread an oily glandular secretion on the outer feathers during plumage care, thus creating a waterproof protective layer. So this penguin, felted from pure new wool, wears his hand-knitted woolen scarf as a purely fashionable accessory - which only underscores his purpose as a decorative element in the winter service (and you don't even have to heat the room to do it). As a good luck charm and souvenir, he is just as a fine little unique piece, which also looks in the long term with an endearing view of the world.

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.
