Detailed description
Wooden figure "Duck" - Design Hans Bolling
A timelessly beautiful, Scandinavian design classic, designed by architect Hans Bolling in 1953, made of oiled teak, from the ArchitectMade brand.
Hans Bolling's source of inspiration was an event in 1959 near the Danish capital Copenhagen, where a policeman let a family of ducks cross the road and thus stopped the traffic. A day later, the country's major dailies reported on it. Nature's idyll versus modernity.
Teak, oiled, handmade. Size 18 x 7 x 15 cm (w/h/d). The head of the duck is adjustable and can thus express the most diverse moods. Delivery in attractive gift packaging.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
