🪵 A Unique, Handcrafted Figure
Each Nisse is carved from a solid piece of locally sourced linden wood from Bohuslän, then carefully hand-painted to enhance the figure’s natural beauty. The staff is made from juniper wood (ene), shaped around a real tree knot — a rare, grown-in detail that makes each sculpture absolutely one of a kind. Finished with natural linseed oil for both protection and rich luster.

🧙♂️ Rooted in Norse Myth
In Scandinavian folklore, the Nisse [ˈnɪ̂sːə] is a household guardian — helpful and kind when treated with respect, but quick to mischief if neglected. Traditionally honored with porridge at Christmas, the Nisse is now a cherished symbol of gratitude, care, and cultural heritage.
💬 From the Artisan
“The staff is carved around a natural ‘kvist’ — a branch that grew from the tree itself. It’s not added, it’s preserved. Just like the Nisse, the staff carries its own story — something I’m proud to protect in every figure I make.”
