Interactive design objects
The charming duo of the mother duck and the duckling do not fail to arouse sympathy, while being real design objects in their own right. These unique creations are both decorative and interactive, offering the ability to change the expression and posture of their adjustable heads. Inspired by the work of talented Danish designer Hans Bølling in 1959, the Duck and the Duckling tell an endearing story, inspired by a real-life incident in the Copenhagen neighborhood called Fredriksborg.
The story behind the design
The story that inspired Hans Bølling dates back to a day when a policeman stopped hectic city traffic to allow a family of ducks to cross the street safely. This simple, yet touching event captured Bølling's imagination and gave him the inspiration to create these adorable wooden figurines.
Meticulous attention to detail
The mother duck and the duckling are perfect examples of timeless Scandinavian aesthetics. Made from high quality wood, they are designed with meticulous attention to detail, giving them an elegant and polished finish. Clean lines and soft shapes capture the essence of nature and evoke a feeling of calm and harmony.
Playful dimension
These duck figurines also have a playful dimension, because you can adjust the position of their head as you wish. You can see them with curious, protective or even happy expressions, which gives them a unique personality and allows you to create different scenes and emotions.
