The Skier | Girl | Kay Bojesen

Kay Bojesen designed two happy skiers towards the end of the 1940s. The happy girl skier with the red cheeks and big smile is called Datti, which was the pet-name of Kay Bojesen’s daughter-in-law Ruth (married to Otto). The name of the male skier, Boje, was the pet-name of Bojesen’s son Otto. The original wooden figures are very rare, as they were only produced in small series. Made from painted Beech with their cheerful expressions, the pair of skiers always make people smile.
