wooden birds

Kristian Vedel (1923-2003)
Kristian Vedel's bird family has been described as the whimsical side of Scandinavian modernism. Originally designed in 1959, only the small bird was set in production and it quickly became one of the most successful Danish wooden products from the 1950s. Today the entire expressive bird family is available - still handmade by a woodturner in a small village in Denmark. Each solid oak bird features a body and free-moving head that can be balanced to create various expressions while the body can be turned upside down to change the body shape.

I'm pretty sure my grandpa made these wooden birds. Wood carving was one of his many passions. I remember these birds from my childhood and my mom was nice enough to give them to me last year.
