Goggar
Product Description:
Goggar / Næb / Beaks
The Goggar bird feeders are inspired by the architecture at Tivoli, the birds in the Parterre Gardens and Dögg Guðmundsdóttir's grandmother, Amma Gunna, who loved birds. Amma Gunna's home was decorated with glass and porcelain birds, and her yard was full of bird feeders. Every day, until she was 102 years old, she would walk round her garden, talking to the birds and the flowers. Goggar pays homage to Amma Gunna and all the birds in the gardens.
Goggar consists of three houses in three different materials. One is a graphic nest made of oak poles and resembling two Norwegian log cabins joined together in the middle. Another offers a bird's eye perspective of the gardens and is made of stainless steel, reminiscent of a modern building of glass and iron. It reflects both the occupant and its surroundings. The third is a bird restaurant made of porcelain with soft lines suggesting a newly hatched chick gaping for food.
