From elegant glassware and tableware to beautifully considered kitchen and home accessories, Rosendahl celebrates the moments that make a house a home. Its iconic Grand Cru collection, recognised by its distinctive four grooves, perfectly captures the brand's philosophy of understated elegance and enduring functionality.

With a commitment to lasting quality and honest design, Rosendahl creates everyday essentials that transcend trends - proving that good design makes even the simplest moments a little more special.
Click for more ideas from Kay Bojesen (designer)Kay Bojesen (1886 - 1958) was an apprentice of Georg Jensen, training as a silversmith in 1910. After a few years in Germany and France, he began working as a silversmith in Copenhagen. In the 1930s he realised there was something particularly lively about wood, and his wooden figures have made him one of the great pioneers of Danish art manufacture. Happily, Kay Bojesen was far too curious to restrict himself to the work of refining metals, and he began experimenting with other materials. In the course of his exploration, he discovered wood as a material with very special possibilities for industrial treatment and styling. This discovery led to the classic guardsmen and a whole zoological garden taking shape between his hands. Kay Bojesen's premise in his work was a conviction that his objects should have life, blood and a heart. People should want to pick them up, and they should radiate humanity, warmth and vibrancy. The monkey was produced in accordance with Bojesen's motto that lines should smile. In the early 1950s, it was so popular that it was exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. In 1990, Rosendahl bought the rights to the production, marketing and sale of Kay Bojesen's guardsmen and wooden animal family. Kay Bojesen's productions are characterised by an inherent sense of simplicity, naturalness and clean lines.

With the pair of Liv & Lykke birds in the iconic Kay Bojesen design, the wings spread out for all who care for and cherish each other. The bird pair is made from FSC® certified beechwood and consists of one large and one small bird, which you can choose to use together or separately to express your unique story, exactly where you are in your life.
The large bird comes in a subdued dark green and, at 10 cm in height, is slightly smaller than the others in Kay Bojesen’s popular series of songbirds, while the small bird at 6 cm, with a body in a warmer green-yellow, is the same size – and just as cute – as the birds you know from the Kay Bojesen mobile in the Babies series with birds and balls in wood, painted in various colours.
To mark the inherent connection of the bird pair, the heads of both Liv & Lykke birds are painted in the same beige colour and with identical white beaks. A symbol that whether they are close together or apart, they will always look after each other. Liv & Lykke is shaped by love, hope, and care – and a deeply rooted tribute to life itself.
No matter what story you tell, Liv & Lykke adds a new loving chapter to the history of Danish design and Kay Bojesen’s original stories made of wood.
For example, let both birds stand together in the bedroom during the child’s very first months as a nest of happiness as fine as the softest feathers, and then let the large bird fly with the little child into the nursery – or vice versa.
And later in life, you can give the now grown child the small bird to take to boarding school or on a trip abroad and keep the large bird at home as a beautiful and life-giving symbol of everlasting connections, unconditional love, and hope for a happy future for a young person. As this special dualistic design icon, the Liv & Lykke bird pair will also be the perfect gift for the new big sister or brother or as a loving greeting between two friends, symbolising life’s big and small moments, a focus on togetherness and happy times together.
With their elegant and universal green colours, the Liv & Lykke pair will stand as an evergreen bouquet in bird form, fitting perfectly into any home.
And just as the Liv & Lykke name naturally exudes life happiness and familial connection, the colours are also full of symbolism. Green is, of course, the colour of hope and symbolises the very fertility, life, and budding hope of happiness that embraces life’s small and large miracles. The green plumage and warm yellow hues give Liv & Lykke a balanced and harmonious look that will create a nest of life and happiness wherever they are placed.
