Thin veneers come to life in the hands of German designer Sarah Finn, who specializes in laser cutting intricate patterns into wood. While Finn is known for her veneer maple lamps, she also designs inexpensive accessories that can be placed in an envelope and mailed to someone for the holidays.
The two three-dimensional ornaments are engraved with “Merry Christmas’ in multiple languages. Simply fold along the scored lines to create a pop-up ornament. Sold in pairs, they’re on sale at the Venice design shop A+R for $10 (reduced from $19).
The napkin rings are equally malleable. Using the thinnest of veneers, Finn laser cuts with distinctive patterns. The six napkin rings arrive flat and can be curled into shape; a mini tab locks the loop into place. Re-flatten for easy storage. Normally $22, the napkin rings are on sale for $17.50.
A+R is at 1121 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice. Open daily 11 a.m.-7 p.m. (800) 913-0071.
