A charming heavyweight turns 70. With its open mouth and whimsical expression, the Hippo is a figurine you love at first sight. It’s almost too fun to be true, and it’s easy to understand why Kay Bojesen was inspired by one of the animal kingdom’s most original characters when he created his famous and beloved Hippo back in 1955. Unlike most of Kay Bojesen’s wooden animals, which are often seen in soft and round shapes, the Hippo is somewhat more angular in design with predominantly straight and even lines – yet it excels with a big and loving smile and lots of power and a twinkle in the eye. The Hippo has that unmistakable expression of care and harmony, almost as if the strong wooden figurine communicates, ‘trust me, I’ve got your back’. According to the archives, Kay Bojesen himself had a grey Hippo on his desk. And the round birthday is celebrated with two anniversary editions in FSC® certified beechwood painted in an exclusive grey color – a true hippo color – with the large mouth painted pink. Whether you choose this anniversary version at 9 cm in height or the slightly smaller Liliput version at 6 cm, you get handcrafted quality in a beloved playful and timeless design, where the Hippos with their friendly expression, round eyes, and long strong form will add a touch of coziness and warmth to any room. Use them, for example, as small, surprising design elements in the home, peeking out where you least expect it. The two grey Hippos are only produced in 2025 and will therefore also be perfect as a unique gift for christenings, birthdays, graduations, weddings – or major anniversaries.

A colourful original in a design that is both nostalgic and innovative. Kay Bojesen's iconic monkey is a well-known and much-loved figurine that brings a smile to people of all ages. And the mini monkey in beech wood painted in original colours from the archives is only going to make that smile bigger. The bright mini version is inspired by colours from an original wallpaper designed by Kay Bojesen in the late 1940s for the children's room. And you get a clear sense of originality and retro vibes in these dusty shades, which beautifully accentuate the cool tone of the beech wood. the monkey in vintage blue measures 9.5 cm in height and is made of FSC certified beech wood, which adorns the hands and feet, face and tummy and gives the new mini monkey a cheerful and youthful air. The painted mini monkeys sparkle with joy and ingenuity. With beauty and confidence, they bring Kay Bojesen's original stories made of wood into a new context. Yet the monkeys remain iconic thanks to the classic colours from Kay Bojesen's original designs. As such, the mini monkey makes the ideal fun accessory in a modern decor, where its quirky and colourful exterior will bring both style and a smile wherever you put it. A must-have for the design lover who has everything. Or for all those of us who can't get enough of Kay Bojesen's monkeys and their cosy company.

Very well made. Color is as shown. Can't wait to give as a gift!. Paul. Palm Beach, FL. Sat Nov 30 2024

Kay Bojesen's many figures are popular with children and adults alike, and this one is no exception. The hippo was originally designed in 1955 to look after the designer's pencil on his desk, and this updated version keeps up the tradition! The hippo is made of beech, painted with blackboard paint, so you can write messages, little notes or use it as a desktop checklist. To make it easier to write on, this hippo is approximately. 8" taller and wider than the one currently in the range. The white chalk is provided in the box. A Kay Bojesen classic that will accompany its owner throughout life's journey.

Birds meet, and sweet music ensues. The series of songbirds and lovebirds are beloved classics in Danish design and everlasting symbols of timeless love.

One lovebird has light green plumage, a pink beak, a sand-colored head, and light blue legs, while the other is adorned with pink plumage, a light green beak, a green head, and sand-colored legs – almost the same color palette for both lovebirds. Both lovebirds measure 9 cm in height and are made with great precision from FSC® certified beechwood, guaranteeing that trees used for production are planted, grown, and felled responsibly. The colored lovebirds are inspired by contemporary color trends and exude a true testimony to the love for original Danish design and the fascination with the beauty of classic wooden figurines. At the same time, they mark a unique unity, a unifying community in an often too fragmented world. You know where you have the birds. And they have each other.

A classic that flies with you through life – from the children’s room to becoming a beloved design icon in your own home.
