Collection: Boyhood Wooden Figures

Boyhood makes collectible wooden figures in solid FSC-certified oak: officially licensed characters and childhood icons, designed in Denmark.

Boyhood is a Danish design brand founded by designer Jakob Burgsø. It works with some of the world’s best-known character brands to produce licensed design objects made entirely of solid wood, alongside its own icons drawn from childhood: a balloon dog, a paper airplane, a newspaper boat, a gummy bear. The pieces are made to sit on a shelf, not in a toy box: the US distributor lists them for ages 15 and up.
