The Hippo in oak came into being in 1955 and was one of Kay Bojesen’s steadfast coworkers. Smiling broadly from it’s usual spot on the desk, Hippo took care of Bojesen’s pencils. The Hippo invites one to pat it fondly on the head, creating a bond with the inner child inside each of us.

The black Hippo with its broad smile is painted using blackboard paint so it can be used, with the accompanying piece of chalk, as a memory jogger or for scribbling funny or affectionate messages.
