Kay Bojesen - Wooden figures

The series of wooden figures is based on Kay Bojesen's basic idea that toys should be simple, sturdy and should encourage play. Kay Bojesen also worked from the philosophy that wood only comes to life when it is given a story, a philosophy that was consistent with all his figures. Kay Bojesen's unique talent has transformed his magical world of wooden figures into beloved classics and design icons that will last for decades.

Kay Bojesen is one of the great Danish designers. Like no other, he knew how to create original stories from wood. He had the gift of bringing the wood to life. Or as he put it: “Making the line smile”. And the lines certainly smile in each of the wooden animals, all of which have become iconic.

Craftsmanship

With a deep passion for craftsmanship and an eye for detail, Kay Bojesen has created an imaginative world of figures and objects that all have and will continue to leave their mark on Danish design. The figures they create and produce are often complex compositions and very detailed. That is why the craftsmanship behind it must always be the best of the best.

High Quality

Kay Bojesen products are all made to the highest quality. They use sustainable materials and proven craft techniques, because they believe that good design is reflected in good quality. For example, they have been using plantation teak for their animal figures since 1992 as a sustainable alternative to rainforest teak. They only use responsibly produced teak wood from FSC-certified plantations in their production.

Original stories in wood

Kay Bojesen always made his figures with soul. He was passionate about creating a story for each of his figures, and at Kay Bojesen, all their figures have their own story. Kay Bojesen's mantra was that the line should laugh and that is what he does in all his designs.

Original Danish design

Kay Bojesen is one of Denmark's largest and most renowned design names, and its crafts are among the most sought-after legacies that we proudly build on every day. Kay Bojesen has had a major impact on Danish design over the past year, both for his humor, which brought new life to an otherwise serious and strict design culture, and because he helped change the way children played.
