Kay Bojesen was inspired by several uniformed agencies, which can be seen in the Standard bearer and Policeman, among other figurines. The original Marine figurine has a charming expression with a slimmer silhouette and the hat at an angle. The dark blue uniform, the slanted hat and the striped scarf makes a beautiful maritime look. Kay Bojesen went on a voyage and on his way, he sailed as the only registered passenger on a Russian cargo ship named Minsk. Kay Bojesen’s statement about the sailors read “They all became my friends and the ship my home”.

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.
