Wooden Birthday Number - No.9

Hand-carved with care and character, these wooden numbers bring a warm, artisanal touch to any celebration. Each piece is crafted from sustainable Albesia wood and finished with a whitewashed look that fits beautifully into modern, rustic, or vintage interiors.

A whole village on the banks of Mount Agung is employed in making these numbers, supporting traditional craftsmanship and providing steady work for the local community. The business is led by a dedicated couple — the village headman and his wife — who take great pride in keeping their community employed and thriving.

The story behind the numbers

The idea was born during a visit to an old friend. Sitting in his front room, sharing wine and memories, a beautifully carved number 60 caught the eye on a bookshelf beside the television, surrounded by photographs from a recent birthday celebration.

"My wife made that for me," he said. A lovely, personal gift — and the spark of inspiration. What if these numbers could also hold a night light candle at the top?

Versatile and meaningful

These numbers can be used as a kind of birthday cake of their own — complete with candles to blow out. They work beautifully placed on top of a cake, nestled into a floral arrangement, or simply standing alone as a stylish candle holder. A thoughtful, lasting gift for any birthday, anniversary, or milestone celebration.
