Wild Heart - Home

Classic Christmas decorations with an artistic edge. For many, Rosendahl’s Karen Blixen Christmas series is the epitome of the cosy and traditional Christmas – steeped in history and festive symbolism that keeps on spreading holiday cheer all the way to Christmas Day. Ole Kortzau made his first Karen Blixen Christmas decoration back in 2007. And every year, new hanging decorations are added to the collection, made in the same special handmade quality, and with such care and attention to detail, that each decoration looks like a small work of art in itself, plated in real silver and gold. The 2024 collection includes this gold-plated 'wild heart' that rests in a wreath of branches and leaves. This beautiful ornament is a tribute to Karen Blixen’s indomitable wild heart, and inspires us to embrace our own feelings and live life to the fullest. Like the other small hanging decorations in the series, they are approx. 7 cm high and work perfectly as window decorations. The motifs in Karen Blixen’s Christmas are often a declaration of love for a child's view of Christmas. But even though Ole Kortzau’s Christmas stories are based on reality, they're not actually real. That’s why the motifs are always a little puffed up. They're always a little quirky, a little curious. Ole Kortzau wants us to stop, take a break – and discover all the classical characters in a different way. The well-trained eye will also notice that the two hearts in the double heart, in the designer’s own words, are 'completely crooked'.
