In 2016, inspired by childhood memories and a passion for hands-on creation, Jakob Burgsø founded Boyhood. Rooted in the nostalgic echoes of time spent in his father’s workshop, Jakob embarked on a journey from a graphic designer to a self-made craftsman in Aarhus, Denmark. Boyhood emerged from Jakob’s determination to embody the joy and simplicity of youthful creativity through unique, handcrafted figurines. Each piece, from the iconic Balloon D’Og to the classic Maverick, is designed to evoke smiles and stir cherished memories, truly capturing the essence of ‘the playful professional’. Today, Boyhood stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and storytelling, where each figurine is not just an object, but a portal to a beloved past, shared with family and friends.
