Tip: combine several different Christmas stars and create a dreamy star cluster in your home.

1. Snöblomma

The Swedish brand Watt & Veke has produced many of our favourite Christmas stars, with the star definitely topping the list. The name translates as ‘snow flower’ and the star more than lives up to its name. With its playful, simple design, it looks like something out of a winter fairy tale and instantly gives any room a romantic, wintry atmosphere.

2. Ice

Ice from Star Trading lives up to its name. With its delicate structures, it is reminiscent of sparkling ice crystals that capture the light of winter. Hang it in the window and it immediately creates a frosty elegance that perfectly matches the clear winter air.

    3. Bare

    The Christmas star Bare is a classic Christmas star from the Swedish brand Scandi Living. The clear, minimalist design captures the essence of Scandinavian Christmas decorations: understated, elegant and timeless.

Hand-folded and rich in detail, it looks great hanging in the window or hanging in a collection over the dining table.

With its artfully folded shape and delicate, flame-like strips, it embodies an elegant blend of tradition and modernity. Its name, which means ‘flaming’, reflects the inspiration behind its design: a gentle, glowing flicker reminiscent of the soothing warmth of candlelight.


      7. Marta
