The “Nikolaus Karl im Pool” (Santa Claus in the Pool) spherical smoke figure from Seiffener Volkskunst eG is a humorous yet masterfully crafted figure. It breaks with traditional depictions by showing a completely different, relaxed side of Santa Claus. The jolly Santa Claus, Karl, is cooling off in the pool, as he is part of the “The Pool Types” series, designed by graduate designer Karsten Braune. His modern spherical figures represent a new generation of Erzgebirge wood art. The figure was crafted in the Seiffen showroom workshop according to the motto “Smart Things from the Erzgebirge.”
Santa Claus sits in a pool made of solid, dark brown wood. This resembles a wooden kettle or bathtub. He bathes comfortably, while a light blue paint scheme represents the water. His body is made of the typical wooden balls that give the series its name. He was painted in a light, natural color that creates a pleasant contrast to the other elements. A white, bushy fur beard frames his face and gives him a traditional touch.
The accessories that give Santa Claus his relaxed look are particularly striking. Cool sunglasses with blue lenses protect his eyes from the sun, while he has a pipe in his mouth, allowing the smoke from the incense cone to rise. A red Santa hat with a white pompom sits on his head.
The “Santa Karl in the Pool” ball incense figure is an original and tongue-in-cheek decorative object. It makes an ideal gift and proves that Erzgebirge woodcraft can embody not only tradition but also modern creativity.
