Home / How it's made

What it is made of, and how.

We make gifts first. They should bring joy, look good and feel different. Better materials add meaning where they belong, and we say plainly what each piece is made of.

Designed and assembled in India. Most products are made in India using a mix of Indian and imported materials.

Forever Forest

Preserved moss and botanicals.

Real reindeer moss, flowers and leaves, preserved so they keep their colour and softness. They need no watering and no sunlight.

Preserved, so no longer growing. It is a real plant that stays as it is.
Open pieces stay fresh for 3 years or more, enclosed pieces for 5 years or more, under the recommended indoor conditions.
Frames and bases are laminated MDF, cork, wood, acrylic or recycled polymer, named on each product.

Made by hand

Flowers shaped from sola pith.

Some of the flowers in our pieces are sola wood flowers. The soft pith is harvested, sliced thin, and each petal is shaped by hand.

The picture shows the four stages: harvesting the pith, slicing it, shaping the petals, and the finished flowers.

Paper that does more.

Two papers run through the plantable range and the stationery.

Seed paper

Handmade paper with seeds inside. Plant it after use. Germination depends on seed variety, soil, water and growing conditions.

Jalkumbhi paper

Paper from water hyacinth, a weed already being cleared from India's waterways.

Cork

Used for coasters, desk pieces and frames, on its own or with moss.

Care, in four lines.

For every Forever Forest piece.

No water

Never water or mist it.

Indoors

Away from direct sun and heavy humidity.

Gently

Dust with air or a soft brush. Avoid frequent touching.

Covered

Keep enclosed pieces under their cover.
