Danish Wooden Duck Figures. Duck by Hans Bolling for Architectmade. Hans Bolling Wooden Duck Sculpture (small or large by ArchitectMade). A classic wooden Danish design toy returns. Who can resist these adorable Duck and Duckling? In spring 1959 during busy days in Frederiksberg, Denmark, a policeman stopped the traffic in order to let a Duck family pass. All Danish newspapers published a photo of the ducks and inspired by the charming duck family, Hans Bolling hence designed the Duck and Duckling. To ensure the smoothest possible transition between the Duck and Duckling's heads and beaks, the beak is wedged to the little head from the underside. Utmost attention is also given to their legs, whose surface is meticulously rounded by hand to perfection from angular wood. Lastly, the whole bodies are twice coated by hand in clear teak oil, to make the wood stronger. This also provides a soft, warm finish. <br><br>Fans of the more whimsical side of Scandinavian modernism
