Poppy Year Burgundy Bird Limited Edition by Kay Bojensen

The body of the bird has a deep, burgundy colour complemented by the terracotta head and the shiny orange beak and legs. A unique combination of colours that make Poppy and elegant and harmonious bird with a balanced and classic look. Kay Bojesen is famous for his original stories made of wood, and in the fall of 2021, we asked all the Danish Kay Bojesen fans to help us add a chapter to the history. We designed two new songbirds, each one with a unique personality and colour combination, and by voting it was determined which one should be added to the collection of Kay Bojesen birds. Poppy is made in a limited number and engraved with ”2022”. Poppy is a tiny bit smaller than the classic songbird, but just as charming. Poppy is made of FSC-certified beech wood, which guarantees that the trees are planted, cultivated, and cut down responsibly. And then she is manufactured and painted by hand with great precision and attention to detail, just like all the Kay Bojesen figurines. The Kay Bojesen collection of songbirds is a great example of his talent for creating figurines full of life and character in a very minimalistic design that still speak to the child within us across generation regardless of age. 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.
