Christmas Gift Idea #2: Architectmade BIRD Family

Posted: 05 Dec 2012 05:58 PM PST



Architectmade wooden BIRDs family designed by Kristian Vedel are one of the best Christmas gift idea for your kids or adults this festive season beside the popular iPad Mini. Kristian Vedel first designed this 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. There are no borders to the expressions of the BIRDs and whatever you are experiencing, they want to experience it with you. Happiest when in groups of other BIRDS, they are vigilant companions to your everyday life.

The BIRD is a truly charming design object for the joyful season.
