Kay Bojesen was a Danish designer who loved wood and, in the 1930s he started to design wooden figures, starting with a dog and adding to the collection over two decades until by the 1950s he had created a diverse family of animals including a monkey, hippopotamus (used as a pencil holder by the designer) and bear. His aim was to create something that would feel good to hold and be a playful representation of the animal rather than an exact match.My hippo was ‘born’ in 1955 and Kay used one as a pen holder on his desk so he would always know where to find it. I can understand the sentiment and mine is now put to the same use. My hippo has been resized and is smaller than the one originally designed by Kay.The oak is nicely turned,smooth and interesting. Unlike other pieces the legs are fixed but the jaw can be moved open and shut to accommodate a pen or pencil. It serves as both an item of interest to lift the austerity of an office or study desk but at the same time offers a functional reason for being there.Very well presented in a gift box, nestled within shredded paper and with care instructions warning to keep him out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Delve deep into the shredded paper and you’ll find a little pencil has been included to make sure the hippo doesn’t go hungry before you add your own.A delightful gift for children and adults alike and something that just makes people smile.

His aim was to create something that would feel good to hold and be a playful representation of the animal rather than an exact match.I have the rabbit, which is made from untreated white oak and, according to the product information, he was born in 1957.The oak is beautifully turned, smooth and interesting and the rabbit's limbs and head can be moved through one plane so he can be posed in various positions,which really adds to the interest. My rabbit has turned up in all manner of places around the house, peeping out from behind a clock, balanced precariously on one foot, `bunny-like' on all fours, or even tucked up in bed. Interest is certainly maintained due to the fact he can be posed in so many ways; he won't just melt into the background. He has even turned up on my desk as a temporary pen-holder.The rabbit is beautifully gift boxed, nestled within shredded paper and with care instructions warning to keep him out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.A delightful gift for children and adults alike and something that just makes people smile.

This little river hog sits on my desk with a pencil in its mouth. It makes me feel very happy just looking at it. Amazon's price for this river horse was fantastic and more that 50% cheaper than other places. Well done Amazon.

This is a lovely figure, very solid and is matt black so that you can write on him with the chalk, the mouth opens and closes. He comes beautifully presented. I bought him as a gift and the receivers were delighted with him
