PHILIPPI : de Oro

Christmas Tree Gold L

A golden Christmas, no tinsel required

A Christmas tree that neither drops needles nor asks to be watered, yet still brings plenty of festive atmosphere: the PHILIPPI DE ORO Christmas Tree L translates the familiar fir-tree silhouette into a clean sculptural form made from gold-plated stainless steel. Interlocking surfaces create the characteristic tiered branches, giving the tree a subtly changing outline as you move around it. Its reflective golden surface catches candlelight and the colours of its surroundings, creating a warm glow without relying on glitter or elaborate decoration. At 20 cm high and 14 cm in both length and width, the larger version of the DE ORO series has enough presence for a dining table, sideboard, windowsill or console while remaining pleasantly compact. This PHILIPPI Christmas tree is made from stainless steel and manufactured in China. It looks particularly appealing where its precise geometry meets natural materials such as timber. A little hint of the forest, then, with considerably less work required in January.

Festive atmosphere, drawn with a clean line

DE ORO proves that contemporary Christmas decoration does not have to abandon traditional motifs. The familiar fir tree remains instantly recognisable, while its graphic construction and golden metal give it a distinctly modern character. This makes the decorative tree easy to introduce into a restrained festive setting or combine with familiar candles, Advent decorations and natural branches. On a dining table, size L creates a noticeable accent without demanding too much space. On a sideboard or windowsill, the golden Christmas tree can remain throughout Advent, reflecting the changing light as the day moves on. Gold-plated stainless steel becomes especially expressive alongside warm timber, dark metal, glass and candlelight. The result is a festive setting built around a few carefully chosen objects rather than decoration for decoration's sake.

A small forest with an eye for geometry

PHILIPPI is an owner-managed design company headquartered in Henstedt-Ulzburg near Hamburg. Founded by Jan Philippi, the brand creates home accessories alongside gifts and objects for travel, work and the bar and is now represented internationally. Clean forms, functionality and a confident use of metal run through many of its designs. DE ORO brings that approach into the festive season. Rather than reproducing every detail of a fir tree, PHILIPPI reduces it to a distinctive silhouette and allows material, reflection and proportion to do the talking. At LIVOSY, our PHILIPPI selection ranges from vases, bowls and picture frames to bar accessories and seasonal pieces including Advent wreaths, ornaments, decorative trees and reindeer. Christmas decoration, we think, can create atmosphere while still feeling naturally connected to the rest of the home.

Lovely alone, even better as a little forest

The DE ORO Christmas Tree L works beautifully as a single decorative object but can also become part of a small winter landscape. Combine different sizes from the series to create varying heights and perspectives, turning a sideboard or table into a loosely arranged golden forest. PHILIPPI candleholders and other festive accessories sit naturally alongside it, as do simple glass, dark metals, natural timber and understated ceramics. On a Christmas table, DE ORO adds a warm reflective accent between plates and glasses; on a coffee table or sideboard, it quietly accompanies evenings throughout Advent without requiring an elaborate arrangement. And once Christmas is over, its clean construction makes it comparatively easy to put away. Even a Christmas tree deserves a little time off before next winter.
