Cute wooden bear
Full of soul, humor and craftsmanship, the wooden bear is an appeal to the playful child in all of us. With its round nose and big belly, Kay Bojesen's cute and robust bear will quickly become a favorite animal for young and old alike and occupies a unique position between fantasy figure and design object.
Kay Bojesen's bear is made of oak and maple wood. The excellent workmanship and the high-quality wood ensure playtime fun for generations to come. The wooden bear is part of a collection of wooden animals created by designer Kay Bojesen between 1935 and 1957. Today, the Danish company Rosendahl Design Group produces the wooden animals in close collaboration with Kay Bojesen's family.
The Reworked anniversary edition
For over 70 years, Kay Bojesen has breathed life into many homes. Especially with his figurines, which create a genuine smile with a painted smile on their faces. The family of figures and wooden animals is large and has now been joined by a very special candidate: The wooden bear in the Reworked anniversary edition.
It was developed with the intention of using the materials with responsibility and care. That's why the wooden bear in the Reworked anniversary edition only uses wood that is all waste wood and would otherwise have been thrown away, such as teak, walnut, oak, ash and maple, in an upcycling process. This gives the figures a sustainable dimension and places them in a modern context.
The wooden bears have a special anniversary embossing on the base.
Legendary wooden figure design
Kay Bojesen's wooden animals are now coveted collector's items, not only in children's rooms but also on shelves and in offices, and are passed down 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.
Throughout his life, Bojesen himself paid homage to the mantra that good design should be human, warm and lively: "They should be reminiscent of a circus" , is how he usually described his works, of which the charming wooden figures are among the most popular.
With his user-friendly and modern design language, Kay Bojesen is one of the great Danish functionalists. In his naive designs, form and object, seriousness and playfulness merge into one. At the same time, Bojesen had the unique ability to bring wood to life, which has made his works international design icons.
