Klarborg Annual Elf Couple 2023 - Cirkeline & Sylvester

Cirkeline is a sweet and loving elf, with the most beautiful curls hidden under her hat. She loves to read Christmas stories in late at night. She turns on the Christmas lights and gets out some sweets, and immediately all the elves and little creatures swarm out to have a good time.

Sylvester is a lively and happy little powder puff. He loves to help in the woods, so he is exhausted by the evening. He is laidback and loves to sit with a warm blanket, treats in hand, and hear Christmas stories.

Height: 5,3"

About the designer Etly Klarborg
Artist Etly Klarborg loved elfs and their significance in Danish folklore long before she started her company in 1986. She grew up with a vibrant imagination and created her first elf at just 4 years old, crafting it from mud while playing outside. The creatures helped connect her with her own mother, a storyteller whose personality shone bright.

It is the childlike quality of the elfs that have endured for all these years. When her oldest son, Martin, was young, he would play in his pajamas, his small belly popping out. So, too, then, did Martin the elf’s midsection.
