The hippopotamus shown here, designed in 1955, is a design that was on Kay Bojesen's desk for a long time, serving its creator as a pencil stand. However, this decoration, made of wood and rounded in the designer's typical manner, has a number of other uses. A paperweight, a fireplace decoration or a terror for children reluctant to brush their teeth every day ;), these are just some of the potential functions of the decoration presented here, a decoration that looks best when surrounded by other animals from this unique collection full of Danish character.
All products from the Kay Bojesen collection are designs with soul. The wooden toys, designed years ago by the well-known Danish designer, aim to awaken the child in their users, evoke memories of their earliest years and encourage carefree admiration of playful forms. In keeping with Kay Bojesen's concept, all the pieces in his collection have unrealistic, slightly rounded shapes that are pleasing to the eye and pleasant to the touch. It is these shapes, together with a bit of magic pushed into the toys presented here by the legendary designer's character, that make everyone who passes by simply have to touch them. Like a child...
