Designs in Hibernation | Etly Klarborg's Resting Elfs & Designs

Klarborg's Sleeping Collection

In Etly Klarborg's magical gnome world, every Elf lives forever, but like in any fairy tale, even Elfs need a little break. From the workshop in Moseby, Etly tells about this special part of the gnomes' lives, where some of her beloved figures go into hibernation for a while.

Our hibernation concept includes:
Selected Elfs & designs taking a break
Periodic return
Room for new adventures
Reunion with old favorites
Receive email when a design returns

”A true Elf never completely disappears,” Etly says with a twinkle in her eye. ”They just take a little nap while dreaming of coming back to their gnome families.” This loving approach to collection management ensures there is always room for both new and old gnome friends in the stores.

The special thing about the hibernating gnomes:
Temporary pause from the collection
Possibility of later reunion
Preservation of the gnomes' story
Room for new creations
Increased collector value

From the calm of the workshop, Etly explains the process:
Careful selection of resting Elfs
Loving storage throughout the hibernation period
Joyful return after the break
New stories for reborn Elfs

“It’s a bit like when you were a child writing wish lists,” Etly smiles. “You have to wish, hope, and look forward to seeing if your favorite Elf wakes up again.” This joy of anticipation has become a special part of the Klarborg experience, where patience is rewarded with reunion.

Let Etly Klarborg’s hibernating Elfs become part of your collecting joy. Every resting Elf is a promise of future reunions – a magical moment when an old friend returns from their well-deserved break, ready to spread new joy in your home.
