AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This beautiful design of the Kay Bojesen monkey was first made in 1951 from teak and limba wood. Its arms and legs are movable, allowing the monkey to be posed in any position or even hung up. Monkey is not only for playing but also makes a fantastic eye-catcher in any room of the house. Each piece is handcrafted, making it unique.
Kay Bojesen's Monkey consists of 31 parts and is handmade from sustainable wood.
Over time, exposure to light and air can change the subtle shades of teak wood into a more consistent, warm golden-brown hue. However, each Kay Bojesen Monkey retains its absolutely unique personality.
This wooden monkey is a medium-sized figure designed by Kay Bojesen, created in Kay Bojesen's monkey troop. So far, the monkey family consists of four sizes. The beloved monkey accompanies us from childhood to adulthood through all life stages and is a popular design object.
The monkey is proof of Kay Bojesen's belief that 'the lines in a product should smile.' A fantastic collectible design object!
Dimensions: H: 25 cm x W: 29 cm x D: 6 cm
Weight: 178 grams
This vintage ape figure is signed and in excellent condition. It will be securely packed and shipped via registered and insured delivery with smart shipping.
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.
