Description 

Hippopotamus by Kay Bojesen

The wooden hippopotamus is part of a collection of wooden animals created by the designer Kay Bojesen between 1935 and 1957. It is the most angular animal design by Kay Bojesen and, with its movable maw, also the only one with a real utility function.

Fantasy figure and design object

Kay Bojesen himself used the lovable colossus as a pencil holder. With this function, the hippopotamus is the ultimate gadget for young and old, on the desk at home or at work. The wooden hippopotamus from Kay Bojesen occupies the unique borderline between fantasy figure and design object. Full of soul, humor and craftsmanship, it is an appeal to the playful child in all of us.

Collector's item and gift idea

However, the wooden animals from Kay Bojesen are now coveted collector's items not only in children's rooms, but also on shelves and in offices, and are passed on from one generation to the next. The animals are therefore the perfect gift idea wherever people live and play: Christenings, birthdays, confirmations, graduations, weddings, anniversaries.

The wooden hippopotamus from Kay Bojesen is available in different types of wood.
