Kay Bojesen - Mrs Santa Clara

The famous, much-loved Danish designer Kay Bojesen drew this popular Santa Claus in 1948, but poor Santa was on his own without Mrs Claus for many years. That’s all changed now that Mrs Claus has found her Santa. Together, they make a delightful couple on a shelf or windowsill in the run-up to Christmas.

Height:  is 20 centimeter. Material:  high gloss painted beech. 

 

 

Kay Bojesen (1886-1958) was an apprentice of Georg Jensen, training as a silversmith from 1906. After a few years in Germany and France, he began working as a silversmith in Copenhagen. Happily, Kay Bojesen was far too curious to restrict himself to the work of refining metals, and in the 1920s he began experimenting with other materials. In the course of his exploration, he discovered wood as a material with very special possibilities for industrial treatment and styling.
