Hippo decoration by Kay Bojesen

Hippo: the unmistakable Kay Bojesen’ style in a unique pen holder! The Hippo pen holder is one of the most famous creations by the Kay Bojesen brand, a Danish brand founded by the designer himself. Kay Bojesen was a truly exceptional professional, and, among his many successful creations, wooden toys deserve special mention, being articles that, in their simplicity, flaunt a truly unique, nice and addictive style. The brand follows Kay Bojesen’ style through these objects, and the Hippo pen holder is an authentic emblem: in fact, this cute hippo has a very ancient history, having been built for the first time in 1955. This article overturns the traditional idea of pen holder intended as classic container. In this item, a cute hippopotamus with stylized and rather squared shapes turns into a pen holder with impressive peculiarities, such as the openable mouth, inside which you can place, lengthwise, a pencil. The originality of this object does not go unnoticed at all: both in shape and in details, this Kay Bojesen item is faithful to the authentic style of the finest antique toys, those who made entire generations of children dream, and yet the charm of this object is not uninteresting to adults, too. Many of the Kay Bojesen’s creations are conceived as just simple toys, but thanks to their accurate and refined workmanship and to their simple but effective style, they are considered odjects of design at international level. With its decorative and special style this creation by Kay Bojesen proves to be impeccable even in living rooms, at the entrance, in bedrooms and, of course, children will be happy to own this small friend in their bedroom.
