Why life-like?

Bringing evergreen foliage into your home at Christmas is something we’ve been doing for centuries – it’s a way to remember that, even in the depths of winter, there’s still life outside. But if you’re less keen on dropping needles and wilting branches, that’s where our life-like stems comes in.

Materials

Sometimes natural materials are best, other times synthetic. For our life-like stems, it’s polyester that creates the most realistic look. Easy to dye, it’s vibrant and colourfast so your stem won’t fade. And it can be made matte or shiny to look exactly like the real thing.

From real-life…

Evergreen, coniferous pines are resinous trees, which is why their spiky needles have a waxy texture. Every conifer will also have cones on its branches at one point, with the bark-like scales on the outside protecting the seeds within. Just like the ones on our life-like branch.

…to life-like

The last thing you want is for your stem to look fake, which is why we made the branches realistically gnarled, knobbly and as heavy as the ones you’d find on the forest floor (they’re also wired so you can bend them into place). Even the underside of each pine cone has been coloured in the same rich green as they’d turn in nature.

Gut zu wissen

Der Draht des Stängels ist so stabil, dass er nicht aus Versehen durchgeschnitten werden kann. Zum Kürzen brauchen Sie aber ein stärkeres Werkzeug. Für uns haben sich langstielige Astscheren (die sonst zum Nachschneiden von Sträuchern und Bäumen verwendet werden) oder Drahtscheren bewährt.

Der Stängel darf nicht zu lange im Wasser stehen, sonst rostet der Draht. In Arrangements mit echten Blumen können Sie dies umgehen, indem Sie den Draht der Kunststängel nach oben biegen.
