After a lifetime of precision,
I came back to nature.
From shaping the built environment on a grand scale to discovering beauty in nature’s smallest details, my creative journey has taken an unexpected and rewarding turn.
In my professional life, I worked as a civil engineer, where precision, creativity, and attention to detail were essential to everything I did. Today, I channel that same dedication into a different form of creativity, transforming simple natural materials and giving new life to interesting, overlooked objects through up-cycling.
Pine cones, driftwood, dried leaves, pods and flowers, and forgotten materials become the inspiration for unique, handcrafted creations. I find joy in discovering beauty in the ordinary and seeing new possibilities in things that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Every piece is thoughtfully crafted by hand, with patience, care, and a commitment to sustainable craftsmanship and respect for nature. No two creations are ever exactly alike, each reflecting the unique character of the materials from which it is made.
Stal Naturals is where my passion for creating meets my appreciation for the beauty, simplicity and harmony of nature. My philosophy is simple: to bring the balance, warmth and essence of nature into everyday spaces and moments.
It started with a handful of pine cones
One afternoon, walking deep in a pine forest, I stopped to pick up a few fallen pine cones, just because they were beautiful. I carried them home, and over a few quiet evenings they slowly became a little pine cone tree.
That small tree is where all of this began. Years later, every wreath, bouquet and keepsake still starts the very same way, with a walk, and whatever nature decides to give me that day.
The sea, and then the forest
I’ve been a beach person my whole life: the golden-white sand, every shade of blue and turquoise, the white lace the waves leave behind. The salty water has always felt like food for body and soul.
Then, a few years ago, I discovered the forest, and it was a whole new world: the clean air, the scent of resin, moss you can’t help but touch. I began coming home with pine cones, cedar cones, acorns and bark, and slowly those finds became everything I build from.
How a piece comes to life
Nothing here is bought in a box. Every piece starts as a handful of things a walk gave me, and slowly becomes something I’m proud to send to you.
From nature to your home
No studio and no production line. Just nature, a table, lots of love and creativity. This is where it all really happens.
Made meticulously, in a moment of calm
There’s almost always a dog underfoot while I craft, and a window open to the garden. I think that’s the part people feel when a piece arrives, that it was made mindfully, by hand, in a home that loves it.
Most mornings start with a long walk, usually with my two huskies at my side. That’s where every piece really begins.
Pine cones are the heart of almost everything I make. I love that the pine has always stood for strength and resilience, it even reseeds itself after a fire. That’s the quiet feeling I like to think travels with every piece into your home.
“My motto is, simply nature.”

A few of my pieces
Every one made to order, browse for inspiration, then ask for your own.
A little island with a very big soul
Cyprus is one of the oldest-loved islands on earth, the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, where golden beaches meet a turquoise sea and cool pine forests climb into the Troodos mountains. A place of old stories, warm light and wild, generous nature.
It’s also home. Every piece is gathered and made by hand here, pine cones from the mountain forests, driftwood from the shore, dried flowers from the fields. When yours is ready, I pack it carefully and send it with tracking, anywhere in the world it needs to go.
