In 2023, Kay Bojesen’s iconic and beloved Elephant celebrated its 70th anniversary. We celebrated the occasion with a Reworked Elephant: a special edition created from a wonderful mix of different wood types, such as teak, walnut, oak, ash and maple—all from surplus and residual wood.
With a focus on upcycling and minimizing resource waste, the Reworked Elephant has a new, modern and sustainable dimension, so that it not only acknowledges the past but also the future. With respect for the environment, the Reworked Elephant is made from residual wood, which means each Elephant will therefore look different depending on which types of wood are left over on the day they are produced. In other words, we cannot guarantee which types of wood each of the Reworked Elephants are made of.
The Reworked Elephant has a 70th anniversary stamp under one foot and comes in a special, limited edition wooden anniversary box.
