Here at ARCHITECTMADE, we have a mission to create crafted, elegant, and simple products, serving as a reminder in today’s fast-changing world, that quality is still timeless. Established in 2004 in Denmark, the company encompasses a continuously growing collection of home accessories. We are moving away from impulsive consumerism culture and celebrating products that last. The kind of products you never get bored to look at: created using exceptional craftsmanship alongside three rounds of quality control, made to stand the test of time. Point of view and empathy define the work of Kristian Vedel. Greatly influenced by Kaare Klint, the father of modern Danish furniture design, as well as the German Bauhaus school, his now-classic modern designs are characterized by a creative use of materials, especially plastics and wood, and with a strong sense for ergonomic and functional requirements. Now a legend, Kristian Vedel’s iconic BIRD is the essence of Danish design. Though simple in appearance, its clean lines create endless expressions by merely tilting its head in virtually any direction. BIRD can express happiness, sadness, and curiosity, living alone or together as a family. The body can also be turned upside down resembling different body types. From child to grandparent, BIRD represents an entire generation. Wood is a living material. This means that over time, if the material is exposed to sunlight or high humidity, for example, the colour may change slightly as the wood moisture content changes. In this case, we recommend sanding the products with fine sandpaper (preferably grain 220 or finer). This will also give the product a smooth surface again. To preserve the glow of the dark wood in the eyes, we recommend to use beeswax balm or furniture wax, applied using a cotton swab. Products in smoked wood will fade over time. To refresh the glow in the wood, we recommend to polish the product with beeswax balm or furniture wax, applied with a dry cloth first and then a lint-free cloth. Natural Oak Smoked Oak
