This Spinning Family consists of small, whimsical wooden figures of animals, each of which symbolises something different. This could be the endurance of the kangaroo, the transformation of the swan or the strength of the lion. Overall, however, they have a uniform symbolism, which is expressed by the spinning globe when you push it forwards. The spinning globe symbolises the earth. The figures are intended as a daily reminder that we all have a responsibility to Mother Earth and must ensure that future generations can also enjoy the earth. Our decisions and actions affect both animals and nature. We want to influence the earth in a positive direction and benefit it instead of exploiting it. We believe that we cannot be made aware of this enough. The figures are made from wood scraps that are not normally selected in design production. Lion: The lion generally symbolises strength, courage, justice, pride, dignity, wisdom, authority, material wealth and general prosperity. The African lion symbolises the ability to control one's emotions. The spiritual message of the lion is that the greatest strength is to be found deep in the heart. Hence the name lion heart.
