ArchitectMade Hans Bolling Mermaid

At first glance, the Mermaid evokes the charm of Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairy tale, a story synonymous with Denmark. Part woman, part fish, Hans Bølling’s creation moves beyond the storybook to embody an ethereal and refined feminine presence, with gently rounded forms and thoughtful lines that convey serenity and grace. Designed in 1960, the Mermaid blends simplicity and sophistication in true Danish style, allowing new expressions to emerge by adjusting her head, fin, waist, or arms. Crafted from oak for the lower body and silky smooth maple for the upper, more delicate portion, she is a beautiful balance of natural materials and elegant design.
