Lisa Larson’s “Birds 1967” was born in 1967, that era of love and freedom. It was a woodwork created by Lisa, who loved birds, and was a special favorite of hers, but it was never mass-produced and was never known to the general public. More than 50 years later, it has finally been commercialized by Sweden’s Design House Stockholm. This project began in Lisa’s final years, and she was looking forward to its release. Come on, colorful birds! If you like the view of the Earth for the first time in 50 years, feel free to fly around the sky and blow a kiss to Lisa above the clouds!
