Himmelis, or straw crowns, have been part of Nordic folklore long before the Christmas tree. Back in the days, the light and delicate straw decoration shimmering in natural gold swirled in the breeze above the cottage table from Christmas to Midsummer. Today, the Himmeli is a year-round decoration in the home. The material used for Valona’s himmelis is birch. Unlike their more delicate predecessors, they will stand the test of time from one generation to the next. The slow movement of the chandelier with the air current is meditative to follow. It is like a piece of jewellery in home interior.
