Unique crib figurines and high-quality artisan wood carving in South Tyrol
The Fillarte family workshop in Laion, at the gateway to Val Gardena, is devoted to craftsmanship. This is where Helmuth Fill brings his own designs to life: together with his wife Gertrud, son Mirko and brother Erich, he works with the finest wood from mountain forests to create exquisite carvings. These creations are then artistically hand-painted by diligent painters from the area.
Helmuth Fill, from the South Tyrolean village of Laion situated within the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site, is descended from a long line of craftsmen. As a child, he loved the woodturning workshop of his grandfather, who made lime wood bowls, and spent every spare minute there. This passion inspired him to undertake woodworking training in Rosenheim (Germany), and to both continue and preserve an age-old tradition.
This high-quality spice mill is a new interpretation of the artistic craftsmanship of Val Gardena, to which the Fill family of Laion has dedicated itself for four generations. Carving with hightech precision and original craftsmanship are combined to create amazing objects that are always different, using wood as a precious raw material. The stylish kitchen accessory is equipped with a high-quality Zassenhaus grinding mechanism.
