Kay Bojesen Monkey Reworked Anniversary small H19.5cm mixed wood

An absolute classic and favorite is this monkey by Kay Bojesen, here in a Reworked Anniversary edition. A special edition of the iconic monkey made from residual wood. This monkey is also a gift that will last a lifetime and will be passed on for generations.

The famous Kay Bojesen Monkey actually came into existence when Kay Bojesen wanted to make a crochet for his children, but instead he ended up creating a world-famous Danish design icon.

This SMALL version is H18.5cm x W19.5cm x D6.5cm.

Kay Bojesen Jubilee Monkey

This Reworked Jubilee version is made from residual wood, so there may be variations in the types of wood used. These can be the following types of wood; teak, walnut, oak, ash, maple, limba and mahogany.

The wood your monkey will be made of depends on the wood available at the time of production and will therefore be a surprise. However, we can guarantee that every Anniversary monkey will, if possible, be even more unique than the original classic.

The processing process of the Reworked Jubilee monkey is considerably more demanding than the well-known monkey in teak and limba, which is turned from one piece of wood. Many pieces of wood have to be adjusted and put together and this places high demands on both the craftsmanship and the quality of the wood.

The Jubilee Monkey is based on the principle of upcycling and the ambition is to use resources that would otherwise be wasted. In this way, the Jubilee monkey gives new life to wood and can be seen as a responsible ambassador for a new and modern interpretation of the original wooden stories of which Kay Bojesen was a true master. The result is a Monkey that unites heritage, wood types and shades through craftsmanship and design - a true collector's item with its own expression and story. The special edition has a 70th anniversary stamp on the leg and is supplied in a limited edition in a special wooden anniversary box.

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.
