Featured in Otthon & Kert Magazin – March 2021
Our Ancient Australian Redgum Bird was featured in the March 2021 issue of Otthon & Kert Magazin, Hungary’s bimonthly home and garden publication known for its practical design advice and warm, accessible approach to creating a beautiful home. The magazine regularly covers home styling, furnishings, outdoor inspiration, and the latest trends that help readers shape thoughtful, welcoming living spaces.
The March 2021 edition explored a wide mix of ideas for the home: energy-efficient living, wallpaper trends, choosing the right dining table, and fresh seasonal inspiration for March gardens. Readers were also invited into two beautifully designed apartments and could follow the ongoing transformation of a bedroom in the magazine’s renovation column. This varied and practical content makes Otthon & Kert a favourite among homeowners looking for stylish yet attainable guidance.
Within this issue, the spotlight turned to our Ancient Australian Redgum Bird, a handcrafted wren made from fossilised Redgum timber over 5,000 years old. These pieces originate from ancient Redgums that were buried under mud and gravel as the Murray River shifted at the end of the last Ice Age. Over thousands of years, the timber absorbed minerals from the riverbed, transforming into dense, black fossil wood that polishes to a stone-like finish.
Each bird is hand-shaped in life-size form and features subtle accents of new Redgum for contrast. Whether in the “tail up” or “tail down” pose, these wrens have a charming presence that blends natural history with fine craftsmanship. Every piece comes beautifully packaged with a velvet bag, a certificate of authenticity from the Museum of Victoria, and a card telling the remarkable story of Ancient Redgum — details that make them especially meaningful gifts.
The inclusion of the Ancient Australian Redgum Bird in this issue reflects Otthon & Kert Magazin’s appreciation for unique, meaningful design pieces that bring character to the home. With its rich backstory and beautiful materiality, the bird complements the magazine’s focus on thoughtful interiors and nature-inspired living.
