Kay Bojesen Denmark Multi-Pack Liliput 3 Pcs.

Kay Bojesen Multi-pack 3 pcs.

Big icons. Small sizes. Under the name Liliput you can now get Kay Bojesens original three animals in a playful miniature size, if you love classic Danish design this is an unique must-have or perfect gift for someone special.

Meet Bear of 9.5 cm, Elephant of 7.5 cm and Hippopotamus of only 6 cm.

Just like his bigger brothers and sisters, Liliput Bear stands ready with his characteristic open arms and friendly expression. And although he is small, Liliput Bear can still turn his head and move his arms, so you can stand him up, sit him down or put him down, just the way you like.

The Elephant, with his long trunk and cute ears, has the same inviting round shape in the Liliput version as in the original from the early 1950s, when Kay Bojesens elephant figure was born at the Kunsthåndværkets Spring Exhibition.

The Hippopotamus was born in 1955 as a fun accessory to keep pencils tidy on the desk, and will continue to bring smiles and style in its Liliput format when placed in the office or in the children's room.

All Liliput animals are made of FSC®-certified beech wood, which guarantees that the trees used in production are planted, grown and felled responsibly.

Kay Bojesen's family of wooden animals has a very special appeal for both children and adults. A wooden figurine is not a gift that is forgotten, but a dear friend that follows you throughout your life - from your childhood bedroom to your own home as an adult.

Only design icons of a certain calibre can do this without losing their relevance.

About the designer:

Kay Bojesen graduated as a silversmith in 1910 after completing his studies with silversmith Georg Jensen. As one of the first Danish craftsmen, he embraced functionalism. He was one of the pioneers who organized the association Den Permanente - an artists' cooperative that included a shop and exhibition space that over the decades came to represent the best in Danish and Scandinavian design.

1919 was the beginning of a new era for Kay Bojesen. He got married and his son Otto was born. This sparked Kay Bojesen's imagination and fascination with children, toys and wood, and brought back memories of his own childhood when his father (the publisher Ernst Bojesen - publisher of the Danish satirical annual Blæksprutten (The Octopus)) carved wooden figures for him and encouraged his children to be creative, imaginative and playful.
