ArchitectMade | Discus - Medium by Hans Bølling
Created in 1961, these beautiful birds are shaped like an antique discus that ancient Greeks portrayed in their sculptures. Place them on a shelf or a window sill and see how they instantly brighten up the space.
The hand painted parts highlight the colourful plumage of the bird, while the chest remains unpainted, revealing the natural qualities and stunning grains of the wood.

Designer/Architect
Bølling’s work is known for its playfulness and wit. A passionate spirit whose products are inspired by creative diversity. In his early career he began crafting small figures from botanicals as gifts for family and friends. The precision and personality in his objects paved the way for success as he began to sell the wooden figures to stores and designing the now-famous Duck and Ducklings in the 1950's.
