Description
Lovingly stowed away: grey hippopotamus by Kay Bojesen
The hippopotamus is undoubtedly the most useful animal in Kay Bojesen's wooden figure collection. Its mouth, which can be opened and closed, can hold pencils, for example. The hippopotamus quickly becomes a real eye-catcher on the desk at home or at work. Kay Bojesen's animals now have many fans who value them as high-quality collector's items.

The designer with the imagination of a child: Kay Bojesen
The fine craftsman and designer Kay Bojesen produced more than 2000 different designs over 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 initially trained as a silversmith with Georg Jensen. When his son Otto was born in 1919, he became interested in children's toys. He carved small wooden figures and finally devoted himself entirely to working with wood in the 1930s. However, it was never his aim to produce lifelike copies, but rather imaginative variations that spring from the imagination of children.

Material and format
The grey hippopotamus made of painted beech wood is 21.5 cm long and 9 cm high.
