The WhittleBird was originally inspired and brought to life from a past logo concept, a design that would have otherwise been forgotten.
Crafted in 2020 as an anniversary gift, and for of the love of midcentury modern design, this cheeky little chirpy chappy has had a few iterations since its initial conception.
Every WhittleBird has been lovingly hand-made in sunny West Yorkshire from locally sourced and reclaimed timber, making them individually characteristic and unique as a result.
A simple form combining clean lines and organic curves in a straighforward minimalist design.
Created as an anniversay gift in 2020, crafted as male and female blackbirds out of natural and black painted sapele.
From the original design came a few spin-offs, developing new styles including the addition of the 'beak'.
The overal design was eventually reduced to a single piece of wood, with legs to help it stand.
By adding a 90 degree twist, and extending the legs, we come to the final version of the WhittleBird, a fun and cheeky little chappy that ouzes character in a contemporary timeless design.
Crafted in oak together with their BirdBox homes.
Every WhittleBird comes with its own uniquely designed colourful BirdBox, handmade at Burrows Design HQ.
