Kay Bojesen Hippo By Rosendahl

The oak Hippo was born in 1955, and was one of Kay Bojesen's most faithful employees. He served as a pencil holder on Mr Bojesen's desk. Never demanding more than a playful tap on the head. Always returning the gesture with a wide smile.

Kay Bojesen's imaginative family of wooden toys has a very special appeal for both children and adults. For christenings, birthdays, school leavers, anniversaries and weddings. A classic and a dear friend for life – from being a popular toy in the playroom to a much-loved design icon in a future home.
