Wooden napkin stand – plywood napkin holder

Your guests are seated and the table is laid. Only the napkins are still sitting in a pile next to the plates. A wooden napkin holder gives exactly this detail its place. The laser-cut plywood napkin stand keeps napkins upright and within easy reach. It also brings a bit of nature to the table – just right for your next celebration. And because the wood is untreated, you can decorate it to suit your style if you like.

What changes for you

• Your table looks tidier and more inviting without much decorating. The napkins stand upright in the holder instead of lying scattered around.
• You always have napkins to hand at meals, at the buffet or at the counter. It stands firmly, and the open shape makes refilling quick.
• You turn an everyday item into something personal. The untreated wood can be decorated with stickers, painted or oiled. It can also carry a custom engraving if you like.
• You'll find the right size for every table. Choose from a small holder for cocktail napkins up to a large model for the buffet. It comes in three sizes and various designs.
• Assembly takes less than five minutes. The four parts simply slot together. You can also glue them if needed.

Why this napkin holder makes a difference every day

A laid table is all about small things that go together. A wooden napkin holder makes the table look calmer. You get wood instead of plastic and a clear shape instead of a pile of napkins. It keeps napkins tidy and to hand at breakfast at home, on the wedding table or in a restaurant. That's one less detail for you to worry about.

Material & finish

The napkin stand is made from 3 mm plywood. It is laser-cut and assembled in Bütic's own production in Pößneck. Laser cutting creates smooth edges with the typical brown rim. This is a feature of this cutting method. The surface is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paint, oil and glue stick to it well, so you can start decorating straight away. The slot-together joints hold the holder securely. If you want to use it long term, glue the joints as well to make it sturdier.

• On the table at home: the small size keeps cocktail napkins to hand. It works for parties and for every day.
• In cafés, restaurants or for catering: one holder per table or station. The napkins stand ready and neat. Refilling is quick, and the counter stays tidy.
• As a craft project: paint the untreated wood or decorate it with stickers to match the season. That way you create a table decoration that only you have.
• As a gift for a celebration: with a custom engraving, the holder becomes a personal gift, for example for a wedding or a housewarming.

Good to know about plywood

Plywood is made of several layers of wood glued crosswise. This structure keeps the material stable and resistant to warping, even though it is thin and light. That's why it works so well for laser-cut slot-together designs. The 3 mm parts fit together neatly, and the holder stands firmly on the table.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Wipe the holder dry or with a slightly damp cloth when needed. As the wood is untreated, avoid constant moisture and the dishwasher. If you often use it in damp conditions, you can simply oil or paint the surface for extra protection.
