Let the adventure live on through original wooden stories. In 2021, when the H.C. Andersens Hus museum opened in Odense, the museum and Kay Bojesen Denmark began a collaboration, to make it now possible to find some of the most famous and loved figures from the world-famous fairy tales interpreted in Kay Bojesen's universe of original stories in wood. The Nightengale, The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep and The Sandman were the first to move onto the shelves of the museum store. The Little Match Girl has also found her way into the warmth. In Kay Bojesen's interpretation, she wears a hood that goes down over her shoulders. The little girl has patches on her dress and apron, which are kept in toned-down colors, emphasizing that she comes from poverty. Her warm smile and gentle, innocent expressions are born of the beautiful experiences she envisions while gazing in the firelight, when on a cold New Year's Eve her imagination awakens with fantastic dreamscapes filled with joy and security. In her hand, she holds a matchstick that completes the story. The Little Match Girl measures 5.7" in height and is turned in FSC-certified beech wood, and the manual production with paint and printing is carried out with the great precision and care that characterize Kay Bojesen's wooden figures. The shape is based on the original Lise figure from Kay Bojesen's archive, which is simple and minimalistic, but full of life and soul. This gives the Little Match Girl a feeling of magic and adventure that is in line with Kay Bojesen's spirit and the storytelling he managed to create in designing his imaginative figures.
