Welcome to WhittleBird

A modern classic in the making.

The WhittleBird was originally inspired and brought to life from a past logo concept, an 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.

Further Development and Simplification

The overal design was eventually reduced to a single piece of wood, with legs to help it stand.

The Final Twist

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.
