ArchitectMade Duck and Duckling By Hans Bølling

A family of ducks stopped traffic in Copenhagen. We’re serious. It was in the neighbourhood of Frederiksberg in 1959, precisely during rush hour, that a family of ducks waddled into traffic, prompting a policeman to immediately stop all cars and pedestrians so the ducks could cross unharmed.

This charming moment made headlines and wooed the hearts of all Danes, specifically architect Hans Bølling who was so enamoured by the story that he was inspired to create the Duck family.

Handmade from teak wood by ArchitectMade, the duck and duckling are now iconic Danish designs.
