Made entirely by hand in my Scandinavian home studio, this figure is a true collector’s item—and no two are ever alike.

🪵 About the Nisse
This one-of-a-kind Nisse is hand-carved from a solid piece of Swedish linden wood from Bohuslän, then carefully hand-painted to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the wood. Its companion staff is carved from juniper wood (ene) and features a striking natural knot – the staff is shaped around a real, grown-in tree knot, not attached or assembled, making it a truly exclusive and natural sculpture. The wood is finished with linseed oil for protection and luster.

💬 From the Artisan

“The staff is shaped around a natural ‘kvist’—a small branch that grew from the tree itself. It’s a rare and beautiful part of the wood that I preserve when carving. Just like the Nisse, the staff tells its own story.”
