Coming 2026

Poetry and personality with genuine responsibility at heart. With Story Birds from Kay Bojesen Denmark, you can discover a series of songbirds where each bird has its own passionate tale to tell. A little memory. A big feeling in figure form. A giant declaration of love – perfect as a personal gift idea. There is something both original and unexpected at play with Story Birds. And a whole lot of feeling. The iconic Kay Bojesen songbird has been given a new and contemporary look with a glossy finish and shifting colours inspired by the palette of emotions we know from our own lives with friends and family. Kay Bojesen Story Birds are designed to celebrate the small, the big, and the truly momentous occasions in life: those we anticipate, those we remember, and those we are living right now. A tale of life’s great emotions. With their glossy surfaces and beautifully graduated colourways, Story Birds are a whole new generation of Kay Bojesen’s iconic songbirds. New originals. New design icons. And although they naturally take their place in Kay Bojesen’s beloved wooden universe, they’re not afraid to stand out and show their true colours. Each Story Bird in the series wears its feeling on its chest – forever captured on a small token bearing the bird’s name. Measuring 15.5 cm in height, the design is thoughtfully crafted from head to tail feather in colours that reflect the bird’s unique personality. This bird is called Passion/Passion and comes in a palette of pink and deep red tones with a loving, honest glow, brimming with both passion and dedication. With its front and tail feather in shifting light pink, a plum-coloured head, a purple beak, and both legs and name token in a slightly deeper shade of purple, Passion/Passion is a unique design icon – full of soul, wrapped in mood-filled colours and emotions, and with a personality all its own. A little memory keeper, a big feeling in figure form – a passionate story about life’s great emotions, told through poetic design. The Story Birds series is rooted in Kay Bojesen’s playful design tradition and his ability to capture the poetry of life in wood and form. With glossy surfaces, new colour combinations, and accompanying tokens with messages in both Danish and English, the series is a beautiful reinterpretation of a beloved design icon – and at the same time a unique gift that amplifies feelings, offering an even more personal, more aesthetic, and more meaningful declaration of love. That’s why the Story Bird is the perfect gift for a friend, for graduation, for a wedding, or as a heartfelt reminder of great love on an anniversary. Kay Bojesen crafted his first wooden figurine in 1922 and has since been synonymous with original Danish design and craftsmanship – always rooted in humour, humanity and imagination. That is why we say Kay Bojesen has been original since 1922. And with the new Story Birds, colours, emotions and the figurine tradition beautifully merge in a new and modern poetic design universe.
