A star - a single small piece of wood that brings festive mood, childlike joy or simply a warm decorative element to the home. This rustic, handcrafted star shape is the opposite of mass-produced plastic stars: natural-grained warm wood, finished by a Balinese artisan.
The experience
The characteristic, contrasting grain of the Albasia (rainwood) finished by hand on the island of Bali is clearly visible on the smooth surface of this traditional five-pointed star piece. Light brown and beige shades vary gently, and the surface is lightly sanded - pleasant to the touch rather than harsh. The thickness is about 1 cm, so the piece stands on a shelf under its own weight, and on a wall it casts a distinct silhouette.
Where to use it
The star shape has many uses: it is a traditional element of Christmas and New Year decoration, but it also works all year round as nursery decor, as ornament for birthday inscriptions or as part of a small wall composition. Placed on a shelf, fixed to a wall or threaded on a string, it looks good in many settings - the 7 cm size keeps proportions right on a table, bookshelf or smaller wall.
Decoration tips
The wooden surface takes paint well - acrylic paint, chalk paint or spray paint all adhere properly. A primer gives more even coverage. For wedding decoration gold or cream is recommended; for a children's room bright colours; for a living room white or grey. For a glossy finish, seal with matt or gloss lacquer. For fixing, adhesive, double-sided tape or small nails all work well. Kept out of direct sunlight the natural wood tone remains stable.
