Defining the spirit of Christmas

  • • Jette's designs are all produced from a hand cut paper model
  • • Her creations are made to be enhanced by candlelight
  • • She has been working as a maker since 1966

Jette Frölich is a self-taught paper artist, and since 1966 her delicate designs have shaped how Christmas looks. Jette is predominantly known for her branch decorations, but she also make decorative porcelain plates and cups as well as elaborate table decorations. All of her creations are made from paper models which she cuts by hand, before being cast in metal or porcelain. Her intricate yet candid designs are inspired by the German masters of architecture and Arabic minaret ornamentation, yet the clean lines of Jette's work have had global appeal over the years. She still finds the creative process and release as invigorating as ever. Many of her designs are considered classics, but Jette keeps producing new pieces that fit in with her legacy, while also being fit for contemporary homes.
