Pole Pole Christmas Chum Buddies are hand-carved wooden companions full of warmth and quiet charm. Each one is shaped from light Albizia wood and sanded to a silky smoothness before being hand-finished by Japanese artisans. The name Pole Pole means “slowly, slowly” in Swahili, a reflection of the patience and care behind every piece.
No two figures are ever the same, giving each its own gentle character and personality. Loved by children and adults alike, they make delightful Christmas decorations or thoughtful keepsakes to treasure year after year.
Created by T-Lab, a company deeply committed to sustainable craftsmanship, every piece supports reforestation and responsible forestry practices using fast-growing Albizia wood. Their work in Indonesia ensures new trees are planted and natural habitats are protected.
Hand-finished in Japan.
