Danish design house - 8 iconic brands
FSC-certification FSC C140259
To celebrate your life events, a reminder of all the happy moments in everyday life, and the special bond between parents and children. With the pair of Liv&Lykke birds in the iconic Kay Bojesen design, the wings spread out for all who care for and cherish each other. The bird pair is made from FSC®-certified beechwood and consists of one large and one small bird, which you can choose to use together or separately to express your unique story, exactly where you are in your life. The large bird comes in a soft, warm taupe and, at 11 cm in height, is slightly smaller than the others in Kay Bojesen’s popular series of songbirds, while the small bird at 6 cm, with a body in a delicate soft pink, is the same size – and just as cute – as the birds you know from the Kay Bojesen mobile in the Babies series with birds and balls in wood, painted in various colours. To mark the inherent connection of the bird pair, the heads of both Liv&Lykke birds are painted in the same passionate peach colour and with identical cream-white beaks. A symbol that whether they are close together or apart, they will always look after each other. Liv&Lykke is shaped by love, hope, and care – and a deeply rooted tribute to life itself. No matter what story you tell, Liv&Lykke adds a new loving chapter to the history of Danish design and Kay Bojesen’s original stories made of wood since 1922. For example, let both birds stand together in the bedroom during the child’s very first months as a nest of happiness as fine as the softest feathers, and then let the large bird fly with the little child into the nursery – or vice versa. And later in life, you can give the now grown child the small bird to take to boarding school or on a trip abroad and keep the large bird at home as a beautiful and life-giving symbol of everlasting connections, unconditional love, and hope for a happy future for a young person. As this special dualistic design icon, the Liv&Lykke bird pair will also be the perfect gift for the new big sister or brother or as a loving greeting between two friends, symbolising life’s big and small moments, a focus on togetherness and happy times together. With their elegant and universal soft red colours, the Liv&Lykke pair will stand as a forever heartwarming bouquet in bird form, fitting perfectly into any home. And just as the Liv&Lykke name naturally exudes life happiness and familial connection, the colours are also full of symbolism. The gentle and warm red shades are, of course, the colours of love and symbolise precisely that sense of everlasting unity, closeness, and emotional happiness that embraces life’s small and large miracles – and give Liv&Lykke a balanced and harmonious look that will create a nest of life and happiness wherever they are placed. Kay Bojesen crafted his first wooden figurine in 1922, 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.

Birds

The Birds series is a collection of songbirds with unique names in a wide range of playful colours. All birds in the Birds series are designed based on Kay Bojesen’s original drawings from the 1950s and produced in FSC®-certified  wood, which guarantees that the trees have been planted, cultivated and felled responsibly. Kay Bojesen designed with soul, humour and a twinkle in his eye and looked at the world from a child's perspective when creating new stories in wood. There had to be room for the imagination to unfold around the figures, and the simple design language, clear colours and friendly expressions have become his signature.
