Anniversary Bear Reworked - 2 Sizes Available

In 2022, the Kay Bojesen Bear turned 70. We celebrated the anniversary with The Reworked Bear, which has a 70th anniversary stamp on the paw and comes in a special wooden anniversary box in a limited number.

The bear is true to Kay Bojesen's original design. With a sustainable aspect the Reworked Bear celebrates the design history, as well as acknowledges the environmental responsibility in craftsmanship and design. In the production of the Bear only residual wood is used, so each and every Bear will look different depending on the wood that is available the day they are made. They are made by hand with care and attention using the same methods as in 1952 when the friendly Bear met the world with open arms.

Kay Bojesen was inspired by a cub named Ursula in the Copenhagen Zoo that was too little to live with the older bears in the cage. Therefore, the cub stayed with the Zoo manager until it was big enough to live with the grown-up bears.

Kay Bojesen (15 August 1886 – 28 August 1958)

Kay Bojesen saw himself first and foremost as a craftsman, a silversmith devoted to creating objects of purpose and permanence. For him, true design was born from function, not ornament. Every piece was shaped to endure, to serve, and to quietly enrich everyday life. Trained in the renowned workshop of Georg Jensen in the early 1900s, Bojesen was grounded in Danish Art Nouveau before embracing the clean principles of functionalism. Silver remained his favored medium, admired for its luminous surface and refined simplicity, where form itself became the decoration. Today, his creations stand as enduring icons of Danish design, celebrated worldwide for their balance of craftsmanship, character, and lasting beauty.
