Kay Bojesen's winter birds are a seasonal take on the classic wooden songbirds, here in a set of two in blue and light blue. The colours are inspired by clear winter night skies, and the beaks and hanging cords are in shimmering gold.
Made of FSC certified painted beech, each bird measures 5 cm in height, 7 cm in width and 3 cm in depth. Hang them on the Christmas tree, from a branch or in a window, and bring them out again each winter.

Kay Bojesen's Christmas, from his 1948 Santa
DesignerKay Bojesen1886–1958
Kay Bojesen drew his Santa Claus in 1948, with a red suit, a sack and a walking stick. Santa Clara later joined him as Mrs Santa, and today's Christmas family adds Christmas Ole and Lise, a tree based on his stacking tower, Santa's caps for the Monkey and small hanging birds.

Brought out every year
The figures become part of the box of decorations that is opened every December.
A Christmas couple
Santa Claus and Santa Clara stand as a pair or hang as 10 cm ornaments.
Dress the Monkey
Santa's caps come in mini, small and medium and stay on with elastic.
Gold details
The birds' beaks and cords and the tree's top are finished in gold.
Santa and his wife
Bojesen drew Santa Claus in 1948, and for many years Santa stood alone. The story goes that Bojesen may have missed his own wife when he made him, and Santa Clara has since joined him. Both are painted beech in red and white.
A tree from a toy
Archive photos show that Bojesen loved making small Christmas displays, sometimes using his stacking tower as a tree. The Christmas tree follows that idea: green rings turned in rubber wood, red and gold baubles and a gold ball on top.
Birds and caps
Two 5 cm Christmas birds in red and green, and two Winter birds in blue and light blue, have golden beaks and cords for hanging on the tree. Santa's caps in mini, small and medium let a Monkey join the celebration.
Materials
- Painted beech
- FSC-certified beech painted by hand; keep it away from direct sun, heat and damp so the colours stay bright.
- Rubber wood and beech
- The tree's rings are turned in FSC-certified rubber wood, with a glued-on top in beech.
- Gold details
- Beaks, cords and the tree top are gold; dust gently rather than rubbing.
Kay Bojesen trained as a silversmith under Georg Jensen and qualified in 1910. He made his first wooden figure in 1922 and believed wood only comes to life when it has a story. Photos in his archive show him building small Christmas scenes with his own figures.
Using it at home
Which Monkey does Santa's cap fit?
The small cap fits the small Monkey and many other animals, but not the mini Monkey. There are also mini and medium caps.
Can the figures hang on the tree?
The Christmas and Winter birds have hanging cords, and Santa Claus and Santa Clara also come as 10 cm ornaments.
How do I store them after Christmas?
Keep them dry and out of direct sun, wrapped so painted surfaces do not rub.
How do I clean them?
Wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use water or cleaning products on the paint.
Is there a larger tree?
Yes. Besides the 13.5 cm tree there is a 19.5 cm version, and several trees can be grouped.
