A beloved classic in Danish design, beautifully decorated for the festive season. Kay Bojesen was a master of adding small details to his wooden creations. He found magic in nature’s own material, and with his exceptional talent for shaping wood, one whimsical figurine after another came to life in his imagination and took shape in his hands. This exclusive Christmas train, inspired by an original Kay Bojesen design, is a festive edition of one of today’s most popular Kay Bojesen pieces – and it’s guaranteed to capture the gaze and admiration of any true design lover. Crafted in FSC®-certified beechwood and painted with great care and meticulous attention to detail, the train has an authentic, refined look full of the soul and humour that have always defined Kay Bojesen’s unique craftsmanship and storytelling. At the front, you’ll find a red locomotive with black wheels and chimney, followed by two carriages – one green, one red – adorned with a tiny elf and colourful Christmas presents, four of which are stackable and delicately numbered from 1 to 4 – one for each Advent Sunday. The train also features a miniature version of Kay Bojesen’s green Christmas tree with its signature round gold top and, at the very end, a harlequin-patterned drum – festive elements from Kay Bojesen’s universe, now refined in the most delightful Christmas style. Measuring an impressive 34 cm in length, the Christmas train presents itself as both a beautiful collector’s item and a wonderful gift idea for anyone who appreciates iconic Danish design. The train blends modern elegance with original Christmas magic in a colourful style – and it will naturally roll onto the scene as a timeless design icon full of seasonal cheer on the table, sideboard or windowsill. Simply impossible to miss – for big and small Christmas hearts and all true Kay Bojesen fans. In 1922, Kay Bojesen crafted his first wooden figurine, and ten years later, he opened a shop and workshop on Bredgade in Copenhagen. Ever since, Kay Bojesen has been synonymous with original Danish design and is known for his playful universe of iconic wooden figurines, created with incredible attention to detail, infused with humour and the joy of unique quality craftsmanship. That is why we say Kay Bojesen has been original since 1922.

Kay Bojesen

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.
