About This Piece

Vintage Design

Kay Bojesen’s famous design icon, the monkey, saw the light of day in 1951. Kay Bojesen was asked to make a coat hanger for an exhibition of children’s furniture. The long arms bring the hanger down to a reachable height, and the short legs leave room for cap and scarf. “Don’t be timid,” Kay Bojesen said of the creative process. “There’s got to be a bit of circus in it.” If you are interested in the monkey and other wooden animals of Kay Bojesen, please visit kaybojesen-denmark.com.

Kay Bojesen was constantly rethinking his craftsmanship. He transgressed with the norms of his own time and was a pioneer of what we today know as Danish Design. Kay was rethinking shapes, materials, and the use of objects, and he managed to put more than 2000 objects into production in his career. Despite that Kay Bojesen passed away many years ago, his designs are still dearly loved and stand as iconic symbols of Danish design.
