Kay Bojesen - Hippo

The Wooden Hippo, which is part of a collection of wooden animals created by Kay Bojesen between 1935 and 1957.
It includes two types of hippos. The first one is the original Hippo, which was created in 1955 to hold pencils on a desk. The second one is made of beech and painted with blackboard paint, so you can write messages, little notes, or use it as a desktop checklist.
