ArchitectMade Bird wooden figure

Wooden figurines from ArchitectMade. The Copenhagen brand scours the work of Danish architects or designers through catalogs, archives and museums for original, typically Scandinavian designs, and then reissues them. The search is on for testaments to elegant simplicity and consummate craftsmanship that have made it into iconic, timeless classics in their first lives. Among the finds are the following wooden figures by Kristian Vedel, Hans Bølling and Paul Anker Hansen, which will probably end up primarily as decorative and collector's items in the hands of adults and spend a life in a display case. But this need not and should not be so: The charming wooden figures may well be played with - at any age! Bird wooden figure. First, ArchitectMade takes the leap to new life with this original design of a wooden bird by Kristian Vedel from 1959. The Bird family comes in two sizes along with its relative Chubby, who, given his corpulence, has probably picked a few too many worms. The removable bird's head can be placed in any direction on either the top or bottom of the body, its simplified bird eyes looking alert or sleepy accordingly.
