Hippo from Kay Bojesen Denmark

The Hippo was born in 1955 as a fun desktop item for managing pencils. Kay Bojesen's imaginative family of wooden toys has a very special appeal for both children and adults. For christenings, birthdays, school leavers, anniversaries and weddings. A classic and a dear friend for life – from being a popular toy in the playroom to a much-loved design icon in a future home.

The second variant is made of beech, painted with blackboard paint, so you can write messages, little notes or use it as a desktop checklist. To make it easier to write on, this hippo is approximately 2 cm taller and wider than the one currently in the range. The white chalk is provided in the box.

Like all animals from the Kay Bojesen Denmark collection the hippo is a collector's item. The animals which have found many friends worldwide find their place in cabinets and shelves not only in children's rooms but also in the home or office.
