Description from the seller
Original Kay Bojesen – Vintage Gelede Wooden Elephant – Solid oak – Denmark – Mid-Century Modern - older version
Description
An iconic piece of Danish design: the famous wooden Elephant, designed by Kay Bojesen. This beloved design is among the absolute classics of Scandinavian design and has worldwide grown into one of the most recognizable wooden animals of the twentieth century.
The elephant was originally designed by Kay Bojesen according to his distinctive design philosophy: simple, organic shapes combined with a playful character and an exceptional sense of craftsmanship. The result is a timeless object that is valued as a design classic, a collectible, and a decorative sculpture.
This old example is made of solid oak and features the original articulated construction, allowing the head, legs, and ears to be subtly adjustable. Through decades of natural aging, the wood has developed a beautiful warm patina that only occurs with older pieces.
The underside features the original burned factory stamps:
* Kay Bojesen Design
* Copyright
These markings confirm the authenticity of the design.
The elephant is in beautiful vintage condition with normal signs of use appropriate for its age and use. It is precisely this light wear and the rich wood color that give the object its authentic character.
Dimensions
* Length: approx. 16.5 cm
* Width: approx. 10 cm
* Height: approx. 13.5 cm
Weight: 417 grams
A splendid original collectible that is not only an icon within Danish design, but also an excellent fit for a Scandinavian, Japandi, or Mid-Century Modern interior.
The object will be carefully packed and sent by Smart Shipment, insured and with Track & Trace, in a signed-for package."
Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
