ArchitectMade Duckling wooden figure

Wooden figures from ArchitectMade. The Copenhagen brand searches through the work of Danish architects and designers by means of catalogues of works, in archives and museums for original, typically Scandinavian designs, and then re-issues them. The search is on for evidence of elegant simplicity and perfect craftsmanship, which have already made iconic, timeless classics in their first life. Among the finds are the following wooden figures by Kristian Vedel, Hans Bølling and Paul Anker Hansen, which are likely to end up in the hands of adults primarily as decorative and collectible objects and will live out their lives in the display case. But that need not and should not be the case: The charming wooden figures can be played with - at any age! Duck and Duckling wooden figure. In 1959, Hans Bølling created the original design of these charming ducks in memory of a small traffic chaos. They were crossing a street in a neighbourhood in Frederiksberg: A policeman hurried to the assistance of the waddling duck clan to regulate the right of way, and the story landed in many Danish gazettes and in the hearts of many fellow countrymen, so that it is natural for ArchitectMade to recall the ducks as duck and duckling wooden figures.
