Gorgeous handmade wooden Dachshund dog from the Pole Pole collection by Japanese brand T-Lab. He has so much character and would make a great present for any dog-lover.

We love Pole Pole wooden animals from T-Lab! They are so cute and charming, and each one is handmade with care and attention. Pole pole means slowly, slowly or little by little in Swahili, and that's the approach that the artisans in Bali take to crafting these animals by hand from Albizia wood.

They have such lovely details and expressions, as all are painted by hand. They are made to treasure, whether you are buying for yourself or giving as gifts to your friends and family. Pole Pole wooden animals from T-Lab are truly special and each one is unique!

  • Pole Pole means slowly, slowly in Swahili and perfectly describes how these animal figurines are made: with love, care and attention to detail.
  • Cut, carved, finely sanded and hand-painted by craftsmen in Bali. Each piece is different and unique.
  • Made from Albizia wood, light, durable and sustainable.
  • Hand-painted with vegetable paint.
  • More a decorative item than a toy. Keep out of reach of very young children.
  • Approximate size: 6.5 x 2.8 x 6.5 cm

Made With Care

Hand Crafted and Sustainable

Slowly Slowly

Slowly Slowly

Designed in Japan, T-Lab's Pole Pole animals are then all hand-made by their workshop's artisans in Bali. At first, they cut a rough form of the animals on solid wooden boards. Then these are dried in an oven for a long time. After that, they are finished by hand, polished with sandpaper and all hand-painted with vegetable based paints.

As all of the work is done by hand, the animals all have unique facial expressions, and the one that you hold in your hand is the only one in the world quite like it.

Pole Pole - made slowly, slowly, and made to keep.
