From Idea to Masterpiece
The Journey of Our Rocking Dachshund
Every product from our FAIRtigung Holz workshop has its own unique story—a journey that begins with a vision and ends as a handcrafted masterpiece. But how does a new product come to life? Let us take you behind the scenes of our workshop and show you how passion, creativity, and craftsmanship come together to create something truly special.
1. The Inspiration – Where It All Begins
The best ideas often arise from everyday moments: a conversation with our customers, observing a need, or a spontaneous spark while looking at a piece of wood. Our latest product, the Rocking Dachshund, is the perfect example. The idea came to us while brainstorming for a modern alternative to the classic rocking horse—something that would appeal to both children and dog lovers.
2. The Design – From Idea to Sketch
Once the idea is born, the design phase begins. This is where our skilled instructors collaborate closely with our transitional workers. Sketches are made, revised, and refined until the design is both visually appealing and functional. The Rocking Dachshund was created to be stable and safe for children while capturing the lovable essence of a dachshund.
3. Selecting the Wood – Sustainability in Focus
For us, sustainability is not optional—it’s a commitment. Every product is crafted from carefully selected, high-quality, regional wood. Our aim is to use materials that are both beautiful and eco-friendly. For the Rocking Dachshund, we chose solid beech wood, which is not only durable but also pleasant to the touch.
4. The Crafting – Precision Meets Passion
In our workshop, the design comes to life. With artisanal precision, the individual components are cut, sanded, and assembled. Every detail matters: from the smooth edges that protect children’s hands to the careful finishing with natural oils.
The Rocking Dachshund went through several prototypes before we found the perfect balance between design, functionality, and safety.
5. The Finishing Touch – Attention to Detail
Before a product leaves our workshop, it gets a final touch. Every piece is thoroughly inspected, polished, and, if needed, adjusted. With the Rocking Dachshund, we paid special attention to ensuring that every line, curve, and detail was just right, making it a true eye-catcher.
6. The Moment of Unveiling
The most rewarding moment is unveiling a new product to the public for the first time. The joy and excitement of our customers are the greatest reward for months of hard work. The Rocking Dachshund has already become a favorite among families and proudly represents our FAIRtigung Holz workshop.
