60 years ago there was a busdriver in Gnosjö, Sweden who wanted to do something different with his life. His name was Gunnar Johansson and his idea was to make wrought iron flower stands and garden ornaments. In 1942 he started production in rented premises with just a handfull of employees. And so Gnosjö Konstsmide was born .

The company grew and at the end of 1950's the company started producing electric candlesticks. Today Gnosjö Konstsmide is an internationally successful business manufacturing and selling Christmas lights and lamps across Europe.

Konstsmide's wide range of products is characterised by classic Nordic design, bold innovation and high quality. 

'Konstsmide's decision to use 0.2mm copper throughout all of their Christmas lights when many manufacturers still use 0.1mm is typical of a continued commitment to high quality materials and safety standards. Konstsmide have also invested in SA8000, the social accountability standard, with the highest ethical standards.'

We therefore cannot absolutely guarantee the availability of any Christmas line offered, from day to day. However our website is updated on a daily basis so you are always seeing the most up to date availability. Realistically we have enough Christmas stocks to meet demand, or the product would not be offered for sale. You are welcome to e-mail us for exact availability before ordering if you wish. Any orders received for out of stock lines will NOT have the payments drawn down. We will not send substitutes. If there is a doubt we will advise you of lead times immediately. Goods from KonstsmideLighting.co.uk and World of Christmas (powered by www.GardenSite.co.uk) are dispatched to reach you within 1-2 working days. All electrical Christmas items are supplied with a plug attached and the necessary step down transformer where required.
