Kay Bojesen Monkey

The Kay Bojesen Monkey was born in 1951 and is a high-quality piece of craftsmanship. Each monkey is unique, no two of them are exactly the same. The monkey will develop its personality even further if it is allowed to hang out in your house. Over time, the light and air will further develop the color nuances in the wood.

The monkey is available in small, medium and large versions. What they all have in common is that they are original wood creations. Kay Bojesen always gave his wooden figures a special soul. Each piece also had its own story and with their smiling lines, unique shapes and vibrant wood they have survived for many generations. According to Kay Bojesen, wood only comes to life if it has a story.

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.
