Why this orange star makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-made wooden cutout takes care of the hard part. You get the fun part: decorating. No fretsaw, no sandpaper. You simply put the star on the table and begin. A free afternoon becomes a craft afternoon. And a plain windowsill gets an orange wooden star.

Material & finish

The star is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives smooth, precise edges that don't fray. The orange stain on the front is applied with care. Depending on the light, the wood grain and small knots show through. Every piece turns out a little different, so each one is unique. Differences in shade and small knots in the grain are not flaws. They are part of the wood. The star is made by Bütic in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Good to know about the star

Stars have been among the most popular motifs of Advent and Christmas for centuries. As a symbol of guidance and hope, they decorate windows, trees and presents. In bright orange, the star also works beyond Christmas: in autumn, for a children's birthday party or as a cheerful splash of colour in a child's room.

Care & durability

There's not much to do. Keep the star dry and wipe it with a dry cloth when needed. Avoid long-term moisture, as plywood is a natural material. This way the orange front stays bright and keeps its shape for a long time.
