A desk with character
A carved hippo keeps pencils and crayons together.
Carved and painted by hand
Every hippo has small variations from handwork.
FSC certified aspen
Made from a light wood from responsibly managed forests.
Matches the carved animals
It shares its style with the hand-carved hooks and giraffe.

A desk assistant
The Hippo Pencil Holder sits on a child's desk, or a grown-up's, and keeps writing and colouring tools in one place. Its long, low body makes it stable and easy to reach into while drawing.

Carved from aspen
The hippo is carved by hand from FSC™ certified aspen and painted in grey. At 7 x 4.5 x 19 cm and 0.15 kg it is light, smooth and solid in the hand, and each one varies a little in shape.

One of a family
Ferm Living's hand-carved range also includes animal hooks with glass eyes and a standing giraffe. Together they bring a small, friendly menagerie of painted aspen animals to a children's room.

Ferm Living was founded in Copenhagen in 2006 by Trine Andersen, who began by designing the wallpaper she could not find for her new house. Its children's range comes from the same Copenhagen design studio, with natural materials and simple, playful forms. The Hippo Pencil Holder was designed there as part of its hand-carved aspen animals.
