Two national icons side by side in new collaboration
With Kay Bojesen Monkey x DBU, Kay Bojesen Denmark and the Danish Football Association have joined forces to celebrate the connection and pride of standing side by side in unity based on a shared belief that we can excite and unite as a part of something bigger with humor, creativity and good craftsmanship.
Both in sports and design, it is very much about creating emotions – and about being united about something. And this unity, the unique design experience, and the great emotions that football can give rise to, is playfully and characterfully expressed in a new collaboration between Kay Bojesen Denmark and the Danish Football Association.
The collaboration with DBU puts Kay Bojesen’s original stories made of wood in a new context and adds more colors and even more humor to the already smiling and vibrant design.
Kay Bojesen had a strong, unpretentious personality and is often said to have brought humor to Danish design with his extraordinary talent for bringing wood to life and creating animals and figurines in the border between quality toys and design objects.
The red-painted national team jerseys on Kay Bojesen Monkey x DBU in an extraordinary beautifully designed pattern, which both mirrors and is an interpretation of the original DBU national team jerseys, add just the playful and quirky element that Kay Bojesen loved to add to his designs to tell a fun story and spark the imagination.
With the launch of Kay Bojesen Monkey x DBU, two of the greatest Danish national icons are now joining forces to celebrate unity and the pride of standing side by side. Based on a shared belief that we with humor, creativity and good craftsmanship can excite and unite us all as part of something bigger, the legendary Kay Bojesen Monkey has been dressed up in the jerseys of the national football teams.
Little league player or legendary megastar? Just like the world of football offers all kinds of different leagues, the new Kay Bojesen Monkey x DBU is offered in all sizes from mini to large, so you can find exactly the variant that fits into your fan barometer.
You decide for yourself whether you invite in the model with the team jersey of the men’s national team or the women’s national team – or maybe both. Because you can get hold of Kay Bojesen Monkey x DBU in two unique variants with either the beautiful painted home jerseys of the men’s national team or the women’s national team
Common to all sizes and variants are that they, big and small, all carry the number 24. Because this year counts! The men’s national team has qualified for the final tournament in Germany this summer and needs all the support we as a united nation can establish to our football heroes.
With the iconic Monkey in the two national team’s jerseys, we build on Kay Bojesen’s design heritage and original stories made of wood, humbly and with a twinkle in our eye. Kay Bojesen Monkey x DBU is a unique collaboration with the Danish Football Association, where we unite the love for design and a unifying community with long-lasting and unforgettable stories, and side by side celebrate the humor, creativity and good craftsmanship to excite and unite us all as a part of something bigger.
With a beautiful red cap with the DBU logo, you can invite the Kay Bojesen Monkey to all your big events both on and off the field that call for proud national feelings and a love of unique Danish design.
The fine, red-painted cap with the DBU logo printed in white is available in two sizes, fitting perfectly on top of the Monkey in the mini or small size.
The cap is made of FSC® certified beech wood, and as an original accessory for every true football fan and Kay Bojesen supporter, of course it is designed in the simple and elegant lines that characterise every Kay Bojesen design. And with the renowned DBU logo on the forehead, you are never in doubt about which team the Monkey is supporting when the match is kicked off.
