The 17th of May is a day of joyful celebrations in the whole of Norway, and with their smiling lines, Kay Bojesen’s Bunad figurines are perfect for putting on the table to mark this national day – or even on other festive occasions with friends and family. The man is based on Kay Bojesen’s famous Guardsman and has been given a newly designed hat. He stands tall and proud in black trousers, a black jacket, a red waistcoat and a white shirt, not to mention the traditional knee-high socks. The male Bunad figurine measures 20.5 cm, is made from FSC-certified beech and has been created using the same high-quality craftsmanship typical of all the wooden figurines from Kay Bojesen.

Wooden figures

The series of wooden figures is based on Kay Bojesen’s basic idea that toys should be simple, solid and inspire play. Kay Bojesen also worked based on the philosophy that wood only comes to life when it gets a story – a philosophy that was consistent with all his figures. That foundation and Kay Bojesen’s unique talent has turned his magical world of Wooden FIgures into beloved classics and design icons that will last for decades to come.

Kay Bojesen is one of the big Danish designers. He was able to turn wood into original stories like no other. He had a knack for bringing the wood to life. Or as he put it: “Making the line smile”. And the lines certainly smile in each of the Wooden Animals – which have all become iconic.
