KAY BOJESEN SONGBIRD GEORG.

Design by Kay Bojesen.

The Kay Bojesen dark green songbird with silver leafed beak and legs.

This songbird by Kay Bojesen is called “Songbird Georg” as a nod to Kay Bojesen’s apprenticeship as a silversmith with Georg Jensen, which he completed in 1910. The beautiful green hue and the fine silver details are inspired by old silver jewellery from this era and match the other Kay Bojesen songbirds perfectly.

About the designer:

Kay Bojesen (1886-1958) was an apprentice of Georg Jensen, training as a silversmith from 1906. After a few years in Germany and France, he began working as a silversmith in Copenhagen. Happily, Kay Bojesen was far too curious to restrict himself to the work of refining metals, and in the 1920s he began experimenting with other materials. In the course of his exploration, he discovered wood as a material with very special possibilities for industrial treatment and styling.
