Strit’s form is made of only the highest caliber materials: his lower body and feet are made out of oil treated teakwood, his body of beechwood and his hair from sheep fur. Each section has full mobility: from turning the waist and arms, to a swiveling and fully rotating head, Strit is built for a full range of motion and expression. As adults, it’s hard to not take ourselves too seriously in the midst of overscheduled, busy lives. Strit is designed to remind us of the humor, wit and irony within. His mobile legs, arms, torso and head can move in any number of configurations – from delight to concern, and anything in between – reminding us to reexamine and reconfigure our point of view.

Hans Bølling
Born in 1931 in a small town of Braband in Denmark, Hans Bølling attended an Art- and Handcraft School originally to become an advertising designer, however some years later he followed his passion for architecture and graduated as an architect from the Royal Danish Art Academy. He designed a plethora of art works, ranging from dolls and furniture to villas, living complexes and town halls. The Duck came to life in the 1950s during the Bølling’s younger years, following the architect’s designs of flowers and weeds from the Botanical Garden. Here he decided to create small figures of ballerinas, trolls and musicians for his loved ones. Later, after winning an award he received a carpentry machine, which gave him the opportunity to carve his beloved figures from wood. It is at this point during the Danish spring that the Duck, and later its offspring – the Duckling, were born.
