Klarborg Elfs | Danish Elfs with Soul & History

Etly Klarborg's Magical Elf World

Welcome to Klarborg's magical elf world - a fairy-tale universe created by Etly Klarborg over more than 35 years. In the workshop among the trees, each Elf is born from love of tradition and inspiration from the Danish Christmas, as Etly experienced it in childhood with mother Sonja.

Our elf collection includes:
Charming annual elf couples since the year 2000
Cheeky and whimsical nisserikker
Chubby little Elfs for the window
Cozy large Elfs for the entrance or stairway
Unique candle holders with elf design

"In the company of the elves, I forget time and place," says Etly. "Each Elf gets its personality from the children I meet - a pair of chubby thighs, big cheeks, or maybe a cheeky expression in the eyes of a little girl." This inspiration from reality makes every Klarborg elf unique and alive.

The special thing about our Elfs:
Hand-cast with care
Individually hand-painted
Unique facial expressions
Personal character traits
Highest quality craftsmanship

From the workshop’s creative calm, the elves come to life with inspiration from:
Etlys childhood Christmas fairy tales
Memories of Elfs in the attic
Children’s natural play and charm
Danish Christmas traditions

"It is wonderful to bring Christmas coziness and fairy tales into people’s hearts and homes," shares Etly. "When the elves are in place in the homes, the magic begins, and the Christmas coziness spreads." Each Elf is created to become part of the family’s own Christmas stories and to be passed down through generations.

Let Etly Klarborg's Elfs become part of your Christmas traditions. Each figure is more than just Christmas decoration - it is a piece of Danish cultural heritage, created with love in the workshop and ready to spread the magic of Christmas in your home.
