Understated and useful, the Menageri Opener H4 walnut shows Danish design at its most approachable. It belongs to the Menageri series, Kay Bojesen's playful family of wooden serving pieces.
Turned and finished in walnut, it lets the natural grain do the decorating while standing up to daily handling. It works just as well every day as it does when the table is set for guests.

Menageri: Kay Bojesen's 1940s wooden tableware in oak
DesignerKay Bojesen1886–1958
Menageri is the kitchen and table chapter of Kay Bojesen's work, first designed in the 1940s when he began making useful wooden household items. Bowls, a chopping board, a pepper mill, salt and pepper sets and walnut bar tools share his soft, round lines.

Lines that smile
Kay Bojesen was known for making the grain of the wood smile in soft, round shapes.
Made for daily use
Food-grade oiled or lacquered finishes help the wood resist stains.
Original designs relaunched
The chopping board, opener and corkscrew are original Bojesen designs, reintroduced today.
One table family
The serving dish works as a plat de ménage that gathers the cruet pieces.
Beyond the wooden animals
Kay Bojesen's designs are not limited to his famous figures. In the 1940s he made a range of elegant, useful wooden objects for the home, and Menageri carries that work into today's kitchens with the same soft, organic language.
Oak from board to bowl
The 40 x 29 cm chopping board in FSC certified oak has wells that catch juices. The 14 cm bowl is built from thick staves of FSC certified oak, so every bowl looks different, and a 24.5 cm serving bowl and dish complete the set.
Spice, oil and wine
A turned oak pepper mill with an adjustable CrushGrind ceramic grinder, a salt and pepper set in oak and smoked oak, and oil and vinegar bottles in mouth-blown glass. The opener and corkscrew are in oiled dark walnut.
Materials
- Oiled and lacquered oak
- Food-grade finishes protect the grain; hand wash only, never in the dishwasher, and keep out of direct sunlight.
- Oiled walnut
- The dark walnut on the opener and corkscrew contrasts with polished steel; wipe it with a damp cloth.
- Mouth-blown glass and cork
- The oil and vinegar bottles sit in an oak base with cork stoppers; wipe the wood with a dry cloth.
Kay Bojesen first trained as a grocer, joined Georg Jensen's silversmith workshop in 1906 and began working seriously with wood in the 1930s. He believed design should be round, soft and feel good in the hand, a philosophy behind both his wooden animals and the household pieces of Menageri.
