Monday maker...Sternengasse inspiration!

The lovely Britte & Markus

Inspiration

Where do you find creative inspiration?

Everywhere!

Which blogs or magazines do you read regularly & which would you count as an "inspirational read"?

We read the German magazine 'Landlust' which translates to 'Love of the Land'. Both Markus and I enjoy other magazines about outdoor photography & gardens. We're both very keen on the outdoors.
Some of the pages from inside this month's LandLust magazine

What makes you different, what inspires you to create unique pieces?

Britte & Markus answered:
We really don´t know

One of their lovely breakfast board designs!
But they are inspired by nature, and their family. Their company philosophy is:
Wood enriches life. Wood has soul and character. Wood lives – in diverse colours, with natural odours, and individual structures.

Wood provides subtle opportunities to create objects. This is where our philosophy originates. The Sternengasse team develops, manufactures and distributes wood products focusing on the preservation of the wood’s original character. In this way Sternengasse ensures that every product gains a distinctive individuality.

With experience and tradition, our love for wood, and a richness of ideas, we offer imaginative wood products, for a more natural, exciting and enjoyable, as well as easier and better life – true to our motto:
Sternengasse - Wooden-Toys-Craft for a more natural quality of life.

Sneak peek at our next Monday Maker...



 
We've just received our latest order from the lovely Markus & Britte. They're also filling out our maker questionnaire to feature in our Monday Maker!

Here's a sneak peek at what you may see:

From the sustainably sourced farm they live on, as you can see, no part of the tree is wasted!












The designs are all from Markus & Britte themselves:




And each piece is hand carved by the man himself!











They've bought out some new products for 2014, and I LOVE them... but will not spoil the surprise for you. In the meantime why don't you head over to www.unikgifts.co.uk and take a look at some of their lovely work we currently have on sale.
