leafies

With this in mind, Jan Willem van Elten designed his playful metal leaves. Durable, flexible and above all decorative and a lasting memory.

A little more about LEAFIES and its origin

More than a year ago, Jan Willem van Elten started LEAFIES. For quite some time he had the idea of designing an "artificial flower or leaf" that you can give someone as a gift. "When the Corona virus literally attacked us, the moment was there, to work out my ideas and share them with the world. The Corona virus asks a lot of everyone and there was more and more distance between people. LEAFIES are an accessible way to put a heart to someone and support from a distance ". The first orders went fast and before he knew it, there was a webshop, production was scaled up and orders were sent daily with heartwarming messages. “The strength lies in the total picture: a leaf with a card. You put a message on the card and the LEAFIES is the lasting memory. Everything goes through my hands and I see the most beautiful messages passing by”.

Tender Love and Care

The gesture of a flower, but slightly different. The LEAFIES are inspired by the organic shapes of plants, made of thin metal and in different colours. They last a lifetime and do just fine without a drop of water. So endless!
