Clever, the wooden owl – a gift that stands for wisdom.

Some gifts say more than words. Clever, the wooden owl by Spring Copenhagen, is one of them. Designed by Chresten Sommer, crafted from FSC-certified maple and thermo ash, Clever is a timeless symbol of wisdom, curiosity, and a love of nature. About 10 cm tall – with a presence far beyond its size.

FSC maple wood · FSC thermo ash · Approx. 10 cm tall · Handcrafted · Design: Chresten Sommer · Made in Denmark

Owls have been symbols of wisdom and learning since antiquity – making Clever a natural choice for anyone who values knowledge. Real owls have a remarkable ability: they can rotate their heads up to 270 degrees to keep sight of their prey. Chresten Sommer has captured that alert, almost philosophical gaze in wood, in a figure that quietly commands attention wherever it stands.

Clever suits teachers, students, book lovers, and nature enthusiasts – anyone who finds beauty in simplicity. The FSC-certified maple makes the gift feel even more considered: sustainable, natural, built to last.

Who is Clever a good gift for?

Clever works beautifully for teachers, students, bookworms, or anyone with a love of nature and thoughtful design. It also makes a charming graduation, birthday, or housewarming gift – one that's personal, lasting, and full of meaning.

Why maple instead of oak?

Maple is lighter in tone and finer in grain than oak, giving Clever a soft, warm appearance that blends naturally into Nordic or minimal interiors. Both woods are FSC-certified and equally durable – it's a matter of palette and personal taste.

Is Clever made from sustainable wood?

Yes. Both the maple and thermo ash carry the FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, which ensures responsible forest management. Spring Copenhagen applies FSC-certified materials consistently across its entire wooden figure collection.

How large is Clever?

Clever stands approximately 10 cm tall, 6 cm wide, and 5 cm deep – compact enough for a desk or bookshelf, yet expressive enough to hold its own on a mantelpiece or windowsill. Being handcrafted, small variations in wood grain make each piece subtly unique.

Is there a smaller version of Clever?

Yes – Wise is the smaller sibling owl from the same Spring Copenhagen family, standing approximately 7 cm tall. Both owls were designed by Chresten Sommer and share the same clean Nordic design language. They look wonderful displayed together.

How do I care for Clever?

Wipe with a dry cloth. For long-term wood care, Spring Copenhagen recommends applying a small amount of beeswax occasionally. Avoid soaking, dishwashers, or abrasive cleaners. Note: the figure comes pre-treated with beeswax oil – when placing it on sensitive surfaces (marble, stone, linoleum) for the first time, use felt pads to prevent any transfer.

Who designed Clever?

Chresten Sommer is the designer behind many of Spring Copenhagen's most beloved wooden animals. His skill lies in capturing an animal's essence with clean, confident forms – for Clever, it's that watchful, almost wise expression that makes the owl instantly recognisable.

Does Clever come in gift packaging?

Clever arrives in Spring Copenhagen's signature packaging, which is designed to be gift-ready. It can be passed on directly – no extra wrapping needed.
