PHILIPPI : Jakob

Moose S

Small moose, surprisingly big personality

Jakob may stand only 15 centimetres tall, but he clearly takes a more generous view when it comes to presence. The PHILIPPI Jakob Moose S is a charming brown Christmas figure combining warm amber wood with dense, fluffy faux fur. His head, legs and characteristic antlers are crafted from wood, creating a natural look, while the brown furry body adds a wonderfully soft, wintry texture. Then there are the little ears, delicately drawn muzzle and friendly expression that almost make you forget we are technically talking about Christmas decoration. Measuring 11 cm long, 12 cm wide and 15 cm high, Jakob S remains pleasantly compact. This means the little PHILIPPI moose can settle comfortably on a dining table, windowsill, sideboard, chest of drawers or shelf. Weighing just 0.1 kg, he is also easy to move whenever the Christmas arrangement is ready for a change. His warm brown and wood tones sit beautifully alongside fir branches, candlelight and natural materials, yet feel equally at home in pared-back contemporary festive interiors. And as Jakob also comes in size L, the smaller fellow certainly does not have to face winter alone.

Fifteen centimetres with a talent for settling in

It is precisely Jakob's smaller size that makes him so easy to decorate with. He requires very little space and can appear wherever a subtle winter detail feels right. Between candles and greenery on the dining table, he adds character without taking over the setting. On a bookshelf or sideboard, the combination of wood and faux fur introduces warmth alongside glass, metal and ceramics. Jakob does not need to disappear the moment Christmas is over either. His natural colour palette allows him to work as winter decoration before Advent and beyond the festive days themselves. Rather than creating an entirely new decorative scheme every year, the PHILIPPI moose can simply be styled differently: with traditional fir greenery one season, cream and natural wood the next, or glass and metal for a cleaner look. A familiar object can find a fresh place each winter – very much in keeping with LIVOSY's appreciation for things that are allowed to stay.

Good design can wear a little fur

Jakob comes from PHILIPPI, an owner-managed design company based in Henstedt-Ulzburg near Hamburg. What began as a northern German business has developed into an internationally recognised brand for home accessories, gifts, travel pieces and office accessories. Its collections share a clear approach: design should have character while remaining relevant to everyday life. PHILIPPI became particularly well known for timeless forms in stainless steel, while wood, ceramics, iron and leather also feature across the brand's material palette. Jakob reveals the more playful side of that design language. Amber wood, brown faux fur and carefully drawn facial details create a Christmas figure with presence but very little need to shout about it. That sits naturally with the LIVOSY philosophy: objects with personality that create atmosphere and become part of a home without dictating how that home should look.

And suddenly there is a little moose family

Jakob S is perfectly capable of going solo. Pair him with Jakob L, however, and the different proportions create a small festive scene that feels less like a carefully constructed display and more like a moose family that has quietly moved in for winter. Advent wreaths, decorative trees and Christmas ornaments make natural companions, as do simple vases and bowls. On the dining table, Jakob S can sit between candles, greenery and glassware without getting in the way; on a sideboard, a vase or small decorative tree is enough to create a calm winter arrangement around him. His brown palette makes mixing and matching refreshingly easy while leaving plenty of room for the Christmas pieces you already love. Give Jakob a regular spot and you may discover that 15 centimetres of moose becomes part of the household remarkably quickly. That is how we like our Christmas decoration: full of character, gently amusing and very likely to make another appearance next year.
