the manufactory
In the more than 25 years since the manufactory was founded in 1989, an unmistakably unique collection has been created with a passion for innovation and master craftsmanship - unconventional and modern, poetic and always with a cheerful wink. The fact that this development has become a success story in recent years is primarily due to the fact that the manufactory has remained a manufactory in the best sense of the word. Our figurines are still mainly made by hand - with dedicated employees, fresh ideas and high-quality craftsmanship. Full of curiosity, the imagination blossoms here and wonderfully cuddly wooden figures are created in artisan small series, in which our hearts find a home. Whether funny Santas, goblins, well-wishers or our nativity figures - they all reach their final form through the work of many hands, characterized by master craftsmanship and a great love of detail. You can see this and feel it in your hand. With their modern design and typical handwriting, the little heroes clearly stand out from the traditional treasure trove of shapes of Erzgebirge folk art and yet are pleasantly conventional in their honest commitment to the craft. The independent design, the careful care and further development of traditional craftsmanship have won several awards in recent years, including the "Tradition & Form" design prize from the Association of Erzgebirge Craftsmen.

the products
The red-nosed Santas, supported by Olaf the moose and Rudolf the reindeer, have become the unmistakable trademark of the Eppendorf workshop of Köhler | Kunsthandwerk alongside the well-known nativity figures since the manufactory was founded. In addition, red-nosed cheerful characters and green heartbreakers, fortune seekers and womanizers, gardening eggheads as well as Easter well-wishers and little school starters provide surprising gift ideas all year round. Their characteristic shape and the tangibly fine craftsmanship make the little heroes unmistakable originals from Björn Köhler's manufactory. Wonderfully inspiring, it is hard to resist their likeable charm. And the best thing about it is that the cuddly characters get new additions year after year - the latest Santas in rowing and paddle boats open up completely new worlds and can also be found as anglers.
