Christmas magic interpreted in wood, based on original designs from the archives. Kay Bojesen creates original stories made of wood all year round, and with the Christmas tree in Kay Bojesen’s universe, you get an iconic and stylish Christmas decoration in a well-known shape based on the classic stacking tower. The green colour of the tree is taken from the green ring on the tower, and the ball on top is painted in gold so that it sparkles like a star. Photos from the archives show that Kay Bojesen loved to make small Christmas displays. For these, he sometimes used the stacking tower as a Christmas tree to create his stories. The Kay Bojesen Christmas tree is available in both this smaller size of 13.5 cm and a slightly larger 19.5 cm version, so you can choose the exact Christmas tree that suits your decorations the best – or combine two or more to create an atmospheric and minimalist still life composition. The Christmas trees’ rings are turned in FSC® certified rubber tree, while the the glued-on top comes in FSC® certified beech wood. As always, the manual production with paint and printing is carried out with the great precision and care typical of Kay Bojesen's wooden figurines. Attention has been given to the wood, painting and craftsmanship, giving the figurines a very special quality – both physically and aesthetically. Kay Bojesen's work is based on the philosophy that wood only comes to life when it has a story. This was common to all his figurines and is also clearly evident in the two Christmas trees, which bring the Christmas story to life in their round shapes and classic lines. Kay Bojesen’s playful and imaginative mind lives on beautifully in the Christmas tree, where red and gold baubles are mounted on the outside of the rings. Kay Bojesen insisted on sparking the imagination and inner child in all of us – even in December, when joy, anticipation and magic surround us for 24 magical days – and often longer.

Wooden figures

The series of wooden figures is based on Kay Bojesen’s basic idea that toys should be simple, solid and inspire play. Kay Bojesen also worked based on the philosophy that wood only comes to life when it gets a story – a philosophy that was consistent with all his figures. That foundation and Kay Bojesen’s unique talent has turned his magical world of Wooden FIgures into beloved classics and design icons that will last for decades to come.

Kay Bojesen is one of the big Danish designers. He was able to turn wood into original stories like no other. He had a knack for bringing the wood to life. Or as he put it: “Making the line smile”. And the lines certainly smile in each of the Wooden Animals – which have all become iconic.
