Kay Bojesen graduated as a silversmith in 1910 after completing his apprenticeship at Georg Jensen. He embraced the mouvement towards functionalism in Danish crafts to co-founding “den Permanente” — a showcase retail shop featuring the best in Danish Design.

In the 1930’s he explored his passion for wood. Creating animals that matched his belief that a product should be “round and soft and feel good in your hand”. The lines in a design should “smile”. And his animals should never be an excact replica of nature.

With all of these belifs in mind, Kay Bojesen has created treasured and beloved characters that appeal to the child within us all.
