Synopsis

“The Gold of the Sun” takes you into the enchanting world of wood artist Rob de Looff, better known as Robin Wood. His deep, almost mystical love for wood forms the very core of his art. Where others see waste in fallen city trees, Rob recognizes the history and stories that lie within this discarded material. With his artistic spirit and a touch of magic, he reawakens this wood as beautiful music boxes that possess an undeniable charm; each one a condensed fairy-tale forest.

Filled with wondrous melodies, these delicate musical creations transcend their material form and resonate in thousands of households worldwide, where they bring joy and connect people through the language of music.

“The Gold of the Sun” captures the soul of Robin Wood, where love for nature, music, and human connection come together in a wondrous way.
