In a small village in Denmark inside a serene and traditional workshop, one piece of oak gets reborn as an expressive and graceful object. The wood turner carefully takes the wood through every stage of the production: a machine slowly gears up, and a piece of wood is transformed step by step.

Kristian Vedel designed his family of BIRDs - children, parents and grandparents back in 1959. Though only the small BIRD was set in production, it quickly became one of the most successful Danish wooden products from the 50s. Today, the entire expressive BIRD family has been re-introduced. They are all handmade by a small wood turner in Denmark who only uses high quality smoked and natural oak wood. By tilting their heads in virtually any direction, the BIRDs can express every frame of mind - happy, sad, curious, alert, etc. The bodies can be turned upside down making it either a male or female.

Choose between the small or large bird. The small bird stands 3" tall and the large bird stands 5" high.
