Kay Bojesen Monkey Small

Designed by Kay Bojesen, this iconic monkey has been a beloved design object in both children's rooms and living rooms since 1951. With its mischievous appearance and light-colored belly, the monkey immediately puts a smile on your face. Thanks to its curved hands and feet, the Monkey can be placed in various positions and even hung up, like a real spider monkey.

This design classic has now secured a permanent place on Danish television: as a mascot in animal programs and as a prize in quiz shows.

The Kay Bojesen Monkey Small is 20 centimeters high and has movable arms and legs. Thanks to its round hands, it hangs effortlessly on shelves, coat racks or lamps. This playful design is not only a stylish addition to any interior, but also a precious object to pass on to future generations.

The Monkey Small is a beautiful gift for special moments such as birthdays, weddings or graduation parties - a timeless symbol of playfulness, craftsmanship and Danish design.

About the designer
Kay Bojesen (1886–1958) trained as a silversmith with Georg Jensen and worked for several years in Germany and France before settling in Copenhagen. His curiosity, however, led him beyond metalworking. In the 1920s, he began experimenting with other materials and discovered wood as a material with unique possibilities for industrial design. His wooden designs – playful, friendly and full of character – developed into timeless classics that are still loved today.
