Vedel Birds

The expressive Bird family, designed by Kristian Vedel, has been re-introduced by ARCHITECTMADE. 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. All of the birds are now handmade by a wood turner in Denmark who uses only high quality dark smoked and natural oak. By tilting their heads in virtually any direction, the Birds can express every frame of mind - happy, sad, curious, or alert. The bodies can be turned upside down, making it either a male or female.
