Architectmade Duck
Frederiksberg, 1959, a family of ducks waddles into a busy street during rush hour. The policemen stopped the traffic for cars and pedestrians, allowing the adorable family to cross unharmed. This charming moment made the headlines of local newspapers and wooed the hearts of Danes. Hans Bølling, a Danish architect and the creator of Duck and Duckling was so enamoured by the story, he brought them to life for everyone to keep on their window-sill.
Hand made from solid teak wood, they are a perfectly refined product with moveable heads. Create your own Duck and Duckling family.

Hans Bolling
Bølling’s work is known for its play, humor and wit. A passionate spirit whose practice and products are inspired by creative diversity, Bølling’s interest in architecture drew him back to school for a secondary degree after training as an advertising designer, growing his practice beyond objects to include villas, living complexes and town halls. Early in his career he began to craft small figures from botanicals as gifts for family and friends. The precision and personality in his objects paved the way for success as he quickly began to sell the wooden figures to stores. Bølling won an award for the designs and invested the winnings into his own carpentry machine. The access to the means of production kick-started the production of Bølling’s now-famous Duck and Ducklings in the 1950’s.
Years later, Hans still stops by the Architectmade office, checking in on his beloved products, his lively, cheerful spirit inspiring more ideas than we know what to do with!
