Andersen has relauched a classic and elegant series
of wooden figurines, originally designed in 1958 by the
renowned modernist Danish designer Jacob Jensen.
The series is called The Vikings of Denmark, and com-
prises Vikings in different sizes and with different ap-
pearances.
The Vikings of Denmark are perfect for decorating
any home. The sleek lines that characterise Jacob
Jensen’s creations are clearly visible in these figu-
rines. With their three sizes, the Vikings contrast well
with each other and celebrate the diversity that existed
then and still exists today.
However, the series is not just for decoration. The
wooden figurines’ heads and weapons can be disas-
sembled and reassembled in different ways or can be
spread out on the battlefield, ready to encourage im-
agination and play. This way, The Vikings of Denmark,
who have brought joy to many homes for generations,
have been revived and are ready to fight new battles.
The giftboxes have been kept in the original style, il-
lustrating Viking longships, so they can be included
in play as well.
