The story goes that Kay Bojesen wanted to design a coat rack for a children’s furniture exhibition, and the idea behind the monkey was that the long arms would bring the coat hook down to child’s height, and the short legs would make room for a hat and scarf.
The monkeys were made in a variety of sizes but be warned, there are many knock offs. There are many signs to a copy but the most obvious are the shape of the eyes and the additional wood for the belly.
