With the Story Birds collection, Kay Bojesen Denmark brings together poetry and personality in a contemporary interpretation of its iconic songbird. Each bird tells its own story – a memory, a feeling, a moment to be cherished. A small object with great emotional value.
The Story Birds are inspired by Kay Bojesen's classic wooden birds, but are given a modern look thanks to their glossy finish and carefully crafted color gradients. Each bird literally wears its emotion on its chest, immortalized on a small name tag with a message in Danish and English.
The Hygge/Cosy variant celebrates warm, intimate moments in good company. The rich earth tones are combined with a playful nod to the characteristic yellow of Nyhavn in Copenhagen. With shades of orange and reddish-brown in the wings and tail, a sienna head, soft yellow beak, and green legs, Hygge/Cosy exudes a sense of security, warmth, and relaxed togetherness.
At 15.5 cm tall, this Story Bird makes a subtle yet powerful design statement. Perfect as a personalized gift for a birthday, wedding, graduation, or anniversary—or simply as a tangible reminder of a special moment.
Since 1922, Kay Bojesen has been synonymous with original Danish design, rooted in craftsmanship, humor, and humanity. With the Story Birds, color, emotion, and figurative tradition merge into a new generation of design icons—contemporary, meaningful, and full of character.
