Simple and Beautiful objects for inSPired living

Duck & Ducklings by Hans Bølling

The Ducks are reminiscent of Danish spring, with mother ducks waltzing proudly around Copenhagen with their young ducklings. One particular spring in 1959 this image was imprinted into the minds of the Danish population when a policeman in Frederiksberg found time to stop the traffic in order to let a young Duck family pass. It was such an extraordinary and meaningful event to those present that all the newspapers published a now-famous photograph of the ducks. This captured moment encapsulates the Danish attention to nature and detail and the ability to appreciate small everyday miracles.

Inspired by the charming Duck family, Hans Bølling hence designed a pair of small wooden Duck figures, whose souls carry the essence of peaceful and harmonious Danish spring. Their smooth, wooden (teak) curvatures are simple yet sophisticated and inspire subdued serenity and harmony anywhere they are placed, just as they did in spring ’59.
