BOYHOOD × GRAND PALAIS

A meeting between Danish craftsmanship and Parisian grandeur.

Presented at the legendary Grand Palais in Paris, BOYHOOD celebrates the intersection of art, architecture, and design. Each handcrafted wooden figure stands as a symbol of timeless form, shaped in oak with the precision and care that define Scandinavian tradition.

The collaboration embodies a shared vision of artistry — where modern minimalism meets historic elegance beneath one of Paris’ most iconic glass domes. The Grand Palais’ sweeping iron structure and natural light mirror BOYHOOD’s pursuit of purity in form and honest materials.

Together, they pay tribute to creation itself — celebrating heritage, innovation, and craftsmanship that transcend generations.

A Landmark of Art and Architecture

Standing at the heart of Paris since 1900, the Grand Palais is one of the world’s most celebrated landmarks — an architectural masterpiece that has hosted generations of artists, designers, and cultural pioneers. Built for the Exposition Universelle, its vast glass dome, sweeping ironwork, and monumental scale have made it an enduring symbol of French art and innovation.

Throughout its history, the Grand Palais has been home to exhibitions by Picasso, Matisse, and Rodin, as well as legendary events such as the Chanel fashion shows, the FIAC art fair, and major cultural exhibitions presented by the Réunion des Musées Nationaux – Grand Palais. It stands as a temple of creativity — where heritage and modernity meet under one of the most iconic roofs in Europe.

For BOYHOOD, being presented at the Grand Palais marks a milestone of international recognition. It represents a bridge between Scandinavian minimalism and French cultural heritage, where the purity of oak and craftsmanship of Danish design are celebrated within a setting defined by art, architecture, and history.

This collaboration is more than an exhibition — it is a tribute to creation itself: honoring craftsmanship, artistic vision, and the timeless pursuit of beauty.

The Making of Playmobil

The wooden Playmobil figurine stands as a tribute to one of the most beloved icons of childhood imagination — reinterpreted through Danish craftsmanship and timeless design.

Each piece begins with FSC® certified oak, carefully shaped using modern techniques for precision, before being sanded and finished entirely by hand. The process combines innovation and authenticity — from the first cut of wood to the final touch of oil and polish.

The result is a warm, sculptural expression of the original Playmobil character — minimalist yet instantly recognizable. A celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and the enduring spirit of play.
