Simply Elegant

Danish silversmith and designer Hans Bunde believed that “simplicity arises from the encounter between form and the possibilities of the materials.” His 1954 penguin figurines demonstrate the impressive skill with which he handled the challenge. The simplicity of these penguins is virtually unsurpassable; their form plays so elegantly with the graceful, curved lines of the light-colored beech wood, effortlessly imbuing these majestic seabirds with lively physicality.
