A laser-cut wooden ornament designed as a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional snowflake, combining festive symbolism with interactive functionality. The piece integrates a minimalist Advent calendar system, where numbered segments and sliding frames allow the user to mark the countdown to Christmas in a tactile and engaging way.

Crafted from natural wood, the design emphasizes warmth, material authenticity, and precision detailing. Each arm of the snowflake incorporates engraved icons and subtle graphic elements, reinforcing the holiday theme while maintaining a clean and balanced aesthetic. The central engraving, “¡Feliz Navidad!”, adds a personal and celebratory touch.

The object is conceived to hang naturally from a tree branch using a simple rope system, ensuring both stability and visual harmony within a Christmas setting. The contrast between the organic texture of the wood and the vibrant green of the tree enhances its presence as both a decorative and interactive piece.

This project explores the intersection of product design and seasonal tradition, focusing on user interaction, emotional value, and refined craftsmanship.
