The 17th of May is a day of joyful celebrations in the whole of Norway, and with their smiling lines, Kay Bojesen’s Bunad figurines are perfect for putting on the table to mark this national day – or even on other festive occasions with friends and family. The man is based on Kay Bojesen’s famous Guardsman and has been given a newly designed hat. He stands tall and proud in black trousers, a black jacket, a red waistcoat and a white shirt, not to mention the traditional knee-high socks. The male Bunad figurine measures 20.5 cm, is made from FSC-certified beech and has been created using the same high-quality craftsmanship typical of all the wooden figurines from Kay Bojesen.
Kay Bojesen (1886-1958) is one of the most important pioneers of Danish design. Trained as a silversmith at the Georg Jensen workshop, he designed several products in silver, such as cutlery and serving dishes, including his famous Grand Prix cutlery. Kay Bojesen worked with other materials as well and explored in particular the possibilities offered by wood.
