Often when people think of Denmark, their mind automatically wonders to the most iconic symbol of Copenhagen, the Little Mermaid. Hans Bolling's reinterpretation of the fairytale figure presents a streamlined, minimalist approach to this cultural icon.
Based on the world-famous fairy tale by H.C. Andersen, the Mermaid by Hans Bolling captures the essence of Denmark with the trademark simple and clean finish.
Designed in 1954, the Mermaid went through a thorough editing process, which left the final design with the characteristic small details .
Any object should ultimately be the object of your affection.
Moving tail and arms Handmade in oak and Maplewood
Size: H 16.5 cm, L 13.5 cm, Depth 7 cm.
Hans Bølling
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!
