Why this wooden aubergine makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden cutout you decorate yourself carries your own style. As a decoration, the aubergine brings a bit of kitchen and garden to your wall, window or laid table. It takes very little effort. And crafting with children turns into a cosy afternoon. At the end, everyone proudly holds their own creation.

Material & finish

The aubergine is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives smooth edges and an exact shape, even in the small sizes. The wood is untreated, not varnished or glazed. That is why it takes paint, oil and glue well. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Wood is a purely natural material. Shade and grain always vary a little, and small knots may occur. This makes every piece one of a kind.

How to use the wooden aubergine

• Crafting with children: each child paints their own aubergine. In the end, a colourful row of vegetables hangs in the kitchen, and everyone is proud of it.
• In your kitchen: hang a few cutouts in different sizes on the wall or place them on a shelf. Your kitchen gets a Mediterranean, natural theme.
• As a gift tag: write a name on a small aubergine and tie it to the parcel. Your gift for a barbecue or cookery class looks lovingly prepared.
• In the farm shop, at the market or on the vegetable shelf: labelled wooden aubergines show varieties and prices. They look uniform, last a long time and are quick to swap.
• In a café or bistro: as a decoration on the counter or the menu board, the shape shows at a glance that fresh vegetables are served here.

Good to know about the aubergine

In German, the aubergine is also called "Eierfrucht", meaning egg fruit. Early varieties really were white and egg-shaped. The familiar dark purple form only became common later. This distinctive silhouette is what makes it such a popular motif. It stands for fresh cooking and Mediterranean food. That is why it suits kitchen decoration, cooking evenings and fruit and vegetable displays so well.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Indoors, an occasional dusting is quite enough. The plywood is untreated, so protect it from prolonged moisture. A coat of paint, oil or varnish makes your aubergine more resistant. That way it keeps its shape and look for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden aubergine or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated and takes paint, glue and oil well. You can coat it, paint it, decorate it or oil it.

Do I need to sand the edges? No. Laser cutting leaves the edges smooth. The brown edge is typical of laser-cut shapes and gives the motif a fine outline.

Do all cutouts look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood not quite. As a natural material, it varies in shade and grain, and small knots are possible. Every piece is one of a kind.

Is the aubergine suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it is intended for indoor use. Protect the wood from prolonged moisture, for example with an opaque coat of paint.

The wooden cutout is just the starting point. Soon your own aubergine hangs in your kitchen, and you think: there is no other one like it. Simply choose your size and quantity – and get started.
