Two of the most iconic landmarks in Danish design history have teamed up to celebrate the smiling lines and happy stripes they have each contributed to Danish design. The famous Kay Bojesen monkey was created back in 1951, when Kay Bojesen wanted to make a children's level hanger to support his kids in reaching their clothes. Instead, he ended up making a world-famous Danish design icon. Now the iconic monkey itself has put on some clothes, and what matches a Danish design icon better than another Danish design icon? Kay Bojesen monkey x Norgaard paa Stroget in this large size is made of FSC certified teak and limba, measuring 47 cm in height. You can get the monkey with the nice painted Norgaard paa Stroget #101 T-shirt in either this black with white stripes or white with black stripes. Both colour variants have the well-known red neckline, which you only find on #101 T-shirts in the exclusive Norgaard paa Stroget version in the store on Amagertorv in Copenhagen. Kay Bojesen is synonymous with original Danish sculpting and design.

The iconic monkey in new clothes is a fun and straightforward celebration of both design icons, where with a twinkle in the eye we collectively pay tribute to the humour and the smiling lines with colours and stripes that runs like a red thread back and forth through Danish design history. Variations may occur in the stripes, but that is only because each monkey has its own unique personality. This is because the stripes are carefully applied to each monkey x Norgaard pa Stroget through a handheld process.

Two of the most iconic milestones in Danish design history have joined forces to celebrate the smiling lines and cheerful stripes each of them has contributed to Danish design. The famous Kay Bojesen monkey was created back in 1951 when Kay Bojesen wanted to make a coat hook at child's height so his children could reach their clothes. Instead, he ended up making a world-renowned Danish design icon. Now the iconic monkey has got its own set of clothes. And what better suits a Danish design icon than another Danish design icon? The small Kay Bojesen monkey x Norgaard paa Stroget is made from FSC certified teak and limba, measuring 18.5 cm in height. You can get monkey with the beautiful painted Norgaard on Stroget #101 T-shirt in either this white with black stripes or black with white stripes. Both colours feature the well-known red neckline, which you can only find on #101 T-shirts in this exclusive Norgaard paa Stroget version in the store on Amagertorv in Copenhagen. Kay Bojesen is synonymous with original Danish design. And the collaboration with Mads Norgaard unites the love of durable and long-lasting products, while adding the playfulness and quirky quality that Kay Bojesen loved to add to his designs to spark the imagination and create original stories made of wood.
