Kay Bojesen était un original, mais également un homme de son temps. Il a vécu à Bellavista, le chef-d‘œuvre moderniste d‘Arne Jacobsen au nord de Copenhague, et son appartement était un lieu de rassemblement pour l‘élite des architectes et des designers d'avant-garde. Ses confrères ont dessiné principalement des meubles et des lampes, Bojensen lui, s‘en est tenu aux petits objets - bijoux, couverts et jouets. C'est dans les années 30 que Kay Bojesen connait une vraie percée internationale avec ses élégants jouets en bois, dont certains modèles sont devenus aujourd‘hui des icônes.
Kay Bojesen was an eccentric, but also a man of his time. He lived in Bellavista, Arne Jacobsen’s modernist masterpiece in Copenhague, and his flat was a gathering place for the progressive architects and designers' elite. It’s in the ’30s that Kay Bojesen met international fame with his wooden toys, a few of them becoming cultural icons of the XXth century.
