Rosendahl have reintroduced three characters into their collection: the Dog, the Hippo, and the Rabbit
to join the family of wooden figurines by Kay Bojesen. A classic Danish design icon, the nimble Rabbit
is world famous and was designed by Kay Bojesen, who was originally an apprentice to Georg Jenson
before finding joy in creating with wood. The Rabbit is made from oak and will get more beautiful with
age.
Kay Bojesen’s wooden figurines come with a Children’s book by Danish Illustrator Thomas Warming that
follows the Monkey’s adventure through the streets of Copenhagen as he collects his friends, including
the Rabbit.
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. 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’s productions are characterised by an inherent sense of simplicity, naturalness and
clean lines. Today his classic designs are collectables and will be 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.
