The pot-bellied monkey, with his cheeky expression, has been taking children’s dreams to far-flung lands ever since 1951. A
classic design icon, the monkey is made from teak and limba wood. Each monkey is unique and comes with a Children’s book
by Danish Illustrator Thomas Warming that follows the Monkey’s adventure through the streets of Copenhagen.
Kay Bojesen’s wooden figures are full of personality, humour and craftsmanship. Throughout his life, Kay Bojesen practiced
the belief that good design should feel human, warm and alive and most importantly, have soul. Learning from the great
Georg Jenson, Bojesen began working as a silversmith in Copenhagen. In the 1930’s he realised that these was something
particularly lively about wood, and his famous wooden figures were born. Bojesen possesses a unique ability to bring wood to
life, and as such his designs have become international design icons. The first was the Dog in 1934, and over the next few
decades, Bojesen added a Zebra, a Bear, the cheeky Monkey, an Elephant and many more.
Kay Bojesen created his wooden figures with love, imagination and intelligence. Today his classic designs are collectables
and have been passed down the generations. They can be found in children’s rooms around the world. Kay Bojesen’s designs
are the ideal gift, wherever life is being lived and played: christenings, birthdays, confirmations, graduations, weddings and
anniversaries.
