I guess you´ve all seen this little guy before, it´s Kay Bojesens teak monkey, designed in 1951. This one now lives in our cabin, but it was my grandfather, interior architect Torbjørn Afdal, who bought it in the 50ies. My daughter loves it!
No way, Torbjørn Afdal is your grandfather! I just bought a "Krobo" bench in oak - that he designed. And the #1 on my wish list for sofa table - "Bellis" was also designed by him!
Torbjørn Afdal er bestefaren min jo, jeg bor faktisk i et hus han har tegnet :) Har kjøpt meg en Krobo-benk selv, de går for minst 1500 kr i Norge, avhengig av lengde og tresort. Jeg ønsker meg veldig hans Broadway-stoler. men de jeg har funnet er foreløpig litt dyre for meg. Kult at du liker hans design!
Oh such a nice story, love the monkey!
