About Holzwolf Úr

Holzwolf er armbandsúr úr náttúrulegum viði úr sjálfbærri skógrækt og endurunnið efni eins og stál. Mismunur hennar er sjónrænn byggður á landslagi Evrópu sem sýnir kjarna þess, árásargirni og glæsileika. Stálblái hálfhringurinn á andlitinu endurspeglar falleg og djúp evrópsk vötn umkringd stílhreinum furum. Verkefni þróað eingöngu fyrir fólk sem vill vera í stöðugu sambandi við náttúruna. Þetta hugtak miðar að því að hvetja nýja kynslóð af hefðbundnum handunnnum vörum og vistfræðilega sjálfbærri hönnun.
