Why We Chose This
Shortly after Danish silversmith and designer Kay Bojesen created this Wooden Monkey Figure, it was exhibited at a museum in London and before long, it entered the pantheon of classic mid-century toys. While the monkey is Bojesen's most famous toy, he also designed many other wooden animals, including an elephant, daschund, hippo and rabbit. In 1931, Bojesen opened a design store in Copenhagen called Den Permanente, and during the 1950s and '60s this was one of the few places in the world where one could purchase his wooden animals. The original design for the Wooden Monkey was featured in MoMA’s 2012 exhibition Century of the Child: Growing by Design, 1900–2000. Bojesen's work was also included in the Museum's 1953 Good Design show.
