Kay Bojesen's Walnut Dachshund
Kay Bojesen's Walnut Dachshund
Unleash the Inner Pup
This Mid-Century Danish Modern wooden dog captures the postwar synthesis of playfulness and precision that defined Scandinavian design. Designed by Kay Bojesen, whose wooden monkey became an icon of 20th-century design, this dachshund’s articulated form demonstrates mastery of both proportion and personality. The hardwood grain reveals expert turning and sanding, with a matte oil finish enhancing its warm tone. Whether produced in Denmark or by a workshop inspired by Bojesen’s ethos, it belongs firmly within the canon of organic modernism—functional sculpture for the domestic sphere.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
