Mittsommer Wreath for Wooden figures Kay Bojesen

Great addition: Midsummer wreath for wooden figures by Kay Bojesen

The wooden figures by Kay Bojesen are very attractive in themselves, but they become even better when you can dress them up to match the season. With the small floral midsummer wreath this is no problem!

Midsummer is the celebration of the summer solstice, which is also celebrated in Denmark, the country Kay Bojesen comes from.

Designer Kay Bojesen

The fine craftsman and designer Kay Bojesen produced more than 2000 different designs in the course of his career. This makes him one of the most productive Danish craftsmen of the 20th century. In addition to the well-known and popular monkeys and other wooden animals, his work also includes jewellery, cutlery, teapots and silver goblets. Kay Bojesen first completed an apprenticeship as a silversmith with Georg Jensen. With the birth of his son Otto in 1919, Bojesen became interested in children's toys. He carved small wooden figures and finally focused his interest entirely on working with wood in the 1930s. He deliberately did not want to create lifelike copies of animals, but rather imaginative variations with a soft and flowing design that has its origins in the imagination of children.

Material and format

The small wreath matches the small monkey, small bear, small panda, songbird and mini elephant. It is made of painted beech wood and measures 5 cm in diameter.
