Architectmade Owl by Paul Hansen

Designed in 1960, Paul Anker Hansen’s Owl has a mobile head that rotates to reveal new expressions. Be it wonder, contemplation or curiosity, Owl can echo our own thoughts and feelings at the tilt of its head.

For years, Paul Anker Hansen made the Owl himself. Now, we continue to make it by hand and with the same precision. The body is made in oak wood, and its eyes are inserted with maple and wenge wood. The head has a magnet attached, so it can move seamlessly in multiple directions to create various expressions. It comes in three sizes: Mini, Small, and Large.

Mini: W4,40 H8,50 cm / Small: W6,20 H12,00 cm / Large: W8,80 H17,00 cm

Traditionally, owls carry with them an air of wisdom and mysticism. Paul Anker Hansen’s interpretation from 1960 is no exception. The owl can embody a variety of emotions. The head is attached to the body by a magnet, which gives it flexibility to be tilted and rotated in all directions. The carefully crafted large brown eyes in wenge wood give a smooth touch and reflect a keen insight. Whether it is wonder, contemplation, or curiosity, the owl can be perceived to echo our own thought. The owl has been handcrafted by Paul Anker Hansen himself for years and is still made by hand at a small wood shop in Denmark in Danish oak wood. Paul Anker Hansen’s version of the magical, yet serene owl is rooted in his love for both animals and craftsmanship, making the owl a celebration of creativity and expression.
