KAY BOJESEN

Kay Bojesen is a family-founded and family-run design company dedicated to carrying forward Kay Bojesen's functionalistic design heritage in silver from 1913... Already in the 1920's, Kay Bojesen created his first wooden toy. After this he gained ground on the toy market with his popular cars, trains and none the least his animals - including horses and dogs, as well as more exotic animals such as hippos, zebras and elephants. One of the most famous of his animals, the monkey, which was created in 1951, has since become a popular design icon worldwide. It was first designed because Kay Bojesen was asked to make a coat rack for an exhibition with children's furniture. The monkey's long arms brought the hook down to children's height, and the short legs made space for a hat and a scarf... Kay Bojesen is a well-known Danish designer who managed to design and put more than 2000 objects into production during his career. Buy Kay Bojesens design online at Kay Bojesens official webshop
