Himmeli history:
The word Himmeli is derived from the Germanic word Himmel and the Old Norse word Himinn, both meaning Sky or Heaven. Himmeli are a traditional Finnish holiday decoration and originally are made from straw after the harvest.
Intricate geometric Himmeli mobiles are hung over the table during the Holiday season through Midsummer to ensure prosperous crops the following year. The larger and more elaborate the Himmeli, the more abundant the next years’ crop.
Hi there! My name is Erin, and thanks for coming to the PROPERgoods maker page! I’ve always been a maker from sewing, wood working, event design to metal work. My love of clean lines and geometric shapes drew me to the look of traditional Himmeli, a style of Finnish Holiday decoration, which inspired me to learn how to make them for myself. I am also an avid gardener and have been collecting air plants for years. It was only natural to start pairing them with the Himmeli shapes to create a unique way to display the air plants.
