The whole group comprises cherished design classics that quickly become part of the family. Give a gift that will last a lifetime, to be passed down to generations to come.

Kay Bojesen designed these two happy skiers towards the end of the 1940s. The happy girl skier with the red cheeks and big smile is called Datti, which was the pet-name of Kay Bojesen's daughter-in-law Ruth (married to Otto). The name of the male skier, boje, was the pet-name of Bojesen's son Otto. The original wooden figures are very rare, as they were only produced in small series. With their cheerful expressions, this pair of skiers always make people smile, and they are all set to conquer Danish living rooms and homes again in this relaunch. Both skiers are made of painted beech in the same way as the Royal Guardsman. The skiers stand 6.1" tall.

This pretty pair of sparrows was designed by Kay Bojesen and is made of natural oak and smoked oak. The two sparrows are 2.2" tall and have a magnet inside so they can be placed on a plank with other sparrows.

Postman Einar stands 7.9" tall, and he comes in an attractive gift box.

Birds meet, and sweet music ensues. The series of songbirds and lovebirds are beloved classics in Danish design and everlasting symbols of timeless love. With this pair of both modern and classic lovebirds, you get two unique birds in the iconic Kay Bojesen design.

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. With simple graphic means, the iconic songbirds have for years been brought to life in a multitude of colors – all in Kay Bojesen’s solid design with the well-balanced expression that appears inviting, calm, and pleasant.

The cream-colored plumage and pale pink beak and legs have been carefully selected, giving Love a balanced, harmonious look. The inside of the eye has a warm sand color that gives Love a calm and loving look. The color is repeated on the string where Love carries an emblem with an illustration of a silver-colored heart, symbolizing the great value of love and cordiality. Love measures 15.5 cm in height and is made with great precision from FSC certified beech wood, which guarantees that the trees for production are planted, cultivated and felled responsibly. In addition to spreading its wings with life-affirming messages, Kay Bojesen Denmark donates DKK 50 per sold Love Songbird to a specially selected beneficiary who helps to create hope for the future.
