Win one of 5 Korol Christmas trees
Forget Irving Berlin and all those dreams of a white Christmas. Andy Cartwright Homeware’s new Korol Christmas Tree will have environmentally conscious consumers humming a greener tune this December when they put this festive, fully recycled designer tree up in their homes.
Korol is a cutting edge modular design system that uses recycled, star-shaped components or ‘building blocks’ that, when connected at their points, can form limitless functional and decorative designs for the home. Starting with homeware like clocks, bowls and lamps, Andy Cartwright Homeware has now created the Korol Christmas Tree for people looking for a tree with a difference.
The tree comes in a compact kit form – easy to assemble and portable – further lowering its carbon footprint. Even the packaging is used as part of the finished product.
Designer and company namesake, Andy Cartwright, says. “Our tree offers a unique take on Christmas. Not only is it eco-friendly, it also offers families the chance to get together and assemble the tree piece by piece, just like a puzzle, except in 3D.”
The tree comes in two sizes; the large one is 1250mm high and costs R650 while the smaller one stands 850mm high and retails at R480. Both trees are available through various online stockists such as Design Indaba, Yellow Box, DirtyCollective.co.za and andycartwright.biz. Visitors to the KZNSA Gallery in Durban or Simply Manas in Sandton City in Johannesburg will also be able to purchase one or call us direct on 0861 111 535.
Korol’s ability to transform into so many different products makes it sustainable and versatile. Using the building block approach, it is free to transform into homeware and design items that are modern, fun and inspiring.
“Our new tree is yet another example of how adaptable the Korol design system is,” said Cartwright.

It is great design. Very pretty and original. Yet, still has a feel of real Xmas tree.
Its very very beautiful and yet it all made of recycled materials and lastly its white the new christmas theme out with the old green trees.
This tree is awesome. So uniqur, eco friendly and practical. I love it.
The design appeals to me because it looks easy to assemble & easy to pack away. Very pretty too. No grotty tinsel or baubles to fall off…I am sure my 10 year old twins could put this up & have loads of fun doing it!
It’s quirky and seems easy to assemble and more importantly to pack away after the festive season.
I love this minimalist design! I hate clutter in my home and I can just imagine this tree in my lounge. And no lights to untie, BONUS!
The pattern makes me think of all those Northern hemisphere pictures with flakes of snow as dots, except this is red and makes me think it is more African!
Cleverly designed and fun all around – this tree is both artistic and stately – firm ambassador of sustainable and eco-friendly design. Big up on the Design Indaba Innovation Award.
oh. what is there not to like?
I love the whole package (literally and metaphorically): design, colour, sustainability, portability… the whole thing.
it really appeals to me as it would make a fab window sill addition to my apartment during the xmas hols. (size small)
thanks!

I love this! It’s Eco-friendly, easily assembled and awesome! Different too! Definitely unusual and doesn’t take up too much space. Stunning actually.
The simple cutout design, the splashes of red, the completely modern take on tradition that still has a warm feel of Christmas spirit… I love EVERYTHING about the design of these trees!
Unique and innovative
For a tree as pretty as a picture, keep baubles and tinsel locked up in the attic – celebrate with Korol Christmas tree…
Five stars for this Korol Christmas Tree! Just right in every aspect!
I love the innovation in the design and more so i love that the innovattion results in a reduced carbon footprint. I love that it is modular, i love that it is 3D, i love that it is gadgety!! it is unusual too, quirky, i find it very expressive too!
I love it. Different is good. Beats the boring old christmas trees of past years.

I love the Christmassy colours first, the simplicity second, and the uniqueness third
Stunning and modern and no fuss to assemble. So cool and would make a wonderful addition to my decorations that could become a wonderful heirloom to pass on to family. And eco-friendly too – sooo great.
It’s just so cute! And it’s not messy like other christmas trees which is a huge bonus and means you won’t be cleaning up after christmas season is over, perfect!
Christmas is a time for giving, so give the gift of style. Wow, it is unique, updated, fuss free and neat, which every woman loves. Cost efficient as one needs not buy extra decorations, definitely LESS IS MORE herein. It brings retro style into the house. Well done, Andy Cartwright has done it right.
it looks like it does not need a lot of space,to put it up
The red and white design is stunning, it’s a clean look that you don’t get with the big green trees! The fact that it’s almost like a puzzle is great. It gives the family a chance to do something together- the way it should be during Christmas time
