Features: Precision-painted details; timeless Danish design icon; best for collectors 14 and up—this is history you can hold

Best for collectors 14 and up — this is history you can hold. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources (radiators, wood stoves) to prevent drying, cracking, or fading. Oiled wood may leave a little extra love (oil) on surfaces at first, so choose its spot wisely. Over time, the oil fully works its way into the wood. For a glow-up, a light re-oil will deepen the color beautifully.

Kay Bojesen didn’t just design objects—he gave them personalities. Trained as a silversmith but better known for turning hunks of wood into charmers like his iconic Monkey, the Danish designer had a knack for making form and function fall in love with fun. Since the 1950s, his creations have been swinging off shelves and into homes, proving good design can—and should—make you grin.
