Rosendahl, Kay Bojesen Songbird Ruth

Kay Bojessen Songbird Ruth.

This bird from the songbird family is stylish and cool.

After finding pictures of the cheerful beech birds in the old Bojesen family photo album, they were later added to Bojesen's collection of animal figures. The birds have a clean, modern expression, stripped of superfluous details, and yet they are so lifelike that you can easily imagine them singing when the sun comes up.

This songbird named Ruth represents one of the five original color combinations created by Bojesen. Can you imagine a better start to the day than to be showered with birdsong from a flock of colorful sunshine? 

The songbird is 12 cm high and was originally designed in the 1950s in a smaller version. With its beautiful black plumage, the Raven is a classic, stylish member of Kay Bojesen's already beautifully colorful flock of birds. A great gift for a birthday girl or someone you love.

Looks great everywhere due to the unique but simple design, on desk, fireplace, kitchen, cupboard, etc.

Material: lacquered beech wood / Height 20.5 cm - Deep 6.5 cm - Wide 13 cm.

About the designer:

Kay Bojesen graduated as a silversmith in 1910 after completing his studies with silversmith Georg Jensen. He was one of the first Danish craftsmen to embrace functionalism. He was one of the pioneers who organized the Den Permanente association - 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 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 - the publisher of the Danish satirical annual Blæksprutten (The Octopus)) carved wooden figures for him and him encouraged his children to be creative, imaginative and playful.
