A small flower with a bud. Strong with lots of energy, like when buds break in the spring. The world feels darker than in a long time, and therefore I want "Christmas pendant 2023" to stand for strength and energy, because if you have it, there is hope!

100 numbered copies, all different and unique. Hang it alone or together with Christmas pendants from previous years. Hang it for Christmas, spring or always. This year, the pendant has been patinated a round. The recycled stems give each pendant an even more unique patina.

Number: 33
Product description

Here is this year's Christmas pendant for 2024 – a brand new model of poppy! During the year, a new design of this beautiful flower has taken shape, and the result was so beautiful that it was given the honor of being this year's Christmas pendant. Poppy is perhaps the most beautiful weed there is; it can take root in the most nutrient-poor soil and reminds us that its beauty is fleeting – a gust of wind, and it is gone.

This is the first black Christmas pendant ever created, or "blackened rust" as I call this special patina. To get the black patina, the rust needs to stick firmly to the metal. After that, I brush on a secret liquid that is not dangerous to me or nature, and then let the night dew do its thing. Sometimes the surface changes to blue, sometimes purple and sometimes gray. Let nature decide!

As every year, the Christmas pendant is produced in only 100 numbered copies. It is beautiful on its own, but also makes a nice addition to those of you who collect Christmas pendants from previous years.

About Elena

Elena Berg Österdahl (b. 1985) is a designer, craftswoman and artist based on Gotland, Sweden, her birthplace, and in Gryon, Switzerland. Educated at Jönköping Institute of Technology, with a bachelor's degree in product development in furniture design, knowing that she wanted to follow an artistic path, but with a technical foundation. Her education combined both theory and practice with a focus on the market, as well as projects taken directly from the furniture industry.

"I am driven by turning traditional concepts upside down and by the contrasts in form and material. "Imagine that from dirty metal you can create sheer shapes that seduce with stylish elegance!" Metal is also fascinating because it often needs to be "wrestled with", with strength and distinctiveness, but sometimes the softest hands are needed. It is alive and the most circular material on our planet. Patinated metal also tells a unique story. There is something melancholic in creating in a material that withers slowly, but still so visible: "Rust is the decaying process of metal, like a flower that withers!"

Jag bryr mig

THE ENVIRONMENT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE`VE GOT!

Berg Österdahl tillverkar föremål som kombinerar hållbarhet både estetiskt och konstruktionsmässigt.

Vi strävar efter att göra ansvarsfulla val när det gäller material, tillverkning och våra leverantörer.

Alla metallföremål tillverkas av återvunnet eller restmaterial av stål. Patinan skapas av naturen, ibland med hjälp av salt och vinäger. För att svarta rosten tillsätts en vätska som inte är farlig att hantera eller för miljön.

Om våra Förpackningar

Den låda som din beställning levereras i distribueras av Rajapack, ett företag som erbjuder miljöcertifierad förpackning.

Förpackningsmaterialet är papper, som är ett restprodukt från Gotlands tidnings tryckeri.

Workshop

Do you want to create your own metal flower?

During the summer months when the workshop is nice, you can create your own metal flower.

You will be given a sheet of paper and an equally large piece of sheet metal. Part of the challenge is to use the material as much as possible. First you sketch and cut on paper. Once you have found a shape that you like, you transfer it to the piece of metal which you cut with various sheet metal shears and shape using pliers, hammer and anvil. I will help with any welding.
