We must respect and take care of each other and our little planet.

I love creating beautiful things, but it's important to me to do it with consideration for both the environment and people. I feel that with body and soul.

I modestly try to contribute as much as possible to my own little life every day, avoid waste of all kinds and recycle everything at home. I have always insisted on transferring that mindset to my work.

For me, recycling, biodegradable materials and the well-being of the Indian women who put their soul and skilled hands into creating the creations that I design are essential. They need to feel good, and they do.

Be welcomed with warmth and open arms.

Papier-mâché made from recycled paper and surplus cotton

In my company, we use recycled paper and cotton fabric from the textile and fashion industries that would otherwise have been burned or thrown away. Around 40 million tons of textile waste, offcuts and other surplus materials, are burned or end up in landfills, and it's almost unbearable to think about.

All the cotton fabric we use to make papier-mâché is recycled, as is the paper. Cardboard boxes, newspapers and the like are collected or picked up from landfills, torn into a thousand pieces, mixed into pulp, shaped into decorations according to my design and painted. Everything is done with the hands, with body and soul.

I have a hard time with waste, so I really like the recycling of waste products. Basically, I am deeply fascinated by the fact that you can create new life and make the finest things out of materials that would have been burned or thrown away somewhere on our earth. Then we get what we used and avoid depleting the planet of more resources.

Our papier-mâché is biodegradable. It is made from recycled paper, rice flour and surplus cotton.

  • Kærlighed til papmaché

    Love for papier-mâché

    Most of us have probably dipped pieces of newspaper in wallpaper paste and covered a balloon, made a tower out of milk cartons or built a cardboard house in kindergarten. I have never lost my basic admiration for what can be created with humble materials, and now – after working with several different materials for many years – I have returned to papier-mâché.

We prefer reusable packaging and recycle everything we can get away with, whether it's cardboard boxes, paper, and filling.

We use our common sense all the way from the first lines drawn in the design phase until you hold the artwork in your hands.

All products are 100% handmade. The products are first designed in Denmark and then handmade by skilled women in India.

We are very concerned about the well-being of the Indian women who make our products – and that we can help ensure that the women have the opportunity to support themselves and their families.
