The outer figure opens to reveal a smaller figure inside, and inside that one, a third. Three figures, three reveals, one quiet laugh about what Oktoberfest really is. Designer Benjamin Hansen uses the matryoshka format to uncover the truth at the core of a human moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWho is this the perfect gift for?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eFor anyone who loves Oktoberfest — or at least its spirit. For Bavaria fans, Munich expats, and the friends or colleagues who make the Wiesn pilgrimage every year. As an autumn gift, a post-Oktoberfest treat, an office gift for the team that took the trip together, or a design object for someone who appreciates humour with substance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eHow large is it — does it feel substantial?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003e14 cm tall, 7 cm wide and deep, around 200 grams — the right size for a shelf, a desk, or a windowsill. Birch wood feels light and smooth in the hand. No plastic lightness, no generic souvenir quality — an object you actually want to pick up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWhy is this a better Oktoberfest souvenir than a beer stein?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eThe stein ends up in a cupboard. The Expressions Oktoberfest stays on the shelf. Birch wood develops a patina over time — the piece gets better, not worse. And there’s a point of view behind it: Benjamin Hansen has thought carefully about what Oktoberfest really means, and that thought lives inside the three figures. A souvenir with wit and authorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eIs this part of a series — are there other figures to go with it?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eYes — Expressions is a growing series. Each figure is dedicated to a different moment in life: love, a wedding, joy, and more. All built on the same babushka principle, all in birch wood, all designed by Benjamin Hansen.

Each figure uses the babushka mechanic to get to the point: what is really inside a moment like Oktoberfest, once you take the layers off?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-section-label\"\u003eQuestions \u0026amp; Answers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the Expressions series — and what does it have to do with babushkas?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eBenjamin Hansen designed a series of figures for Spring Copenhagen that translates human moments — celebrations, emotions, milestones — into the classic matryoshka format. Each figure opens to reveal smaller figures inside: a mechanical joke that exposes the core of its subject. Oktoberfest as a babushka asks the question: what’s really inside once you lift the lid?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWhy birch wood?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eBirch wood has a pale, creamy surface with a fine, even grain — a calm, timeless natural material. Light in the hand, smooth to the touch, understated in tone. The Expressions figures are built for everyday life on the shelf, not for a display cabinet — birch wood holds up to that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eWhere does it work best in an interior?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eAt 14 cm tall and 7 cm across, the Expressions Oktoberfest is a compact object — ideal for shelves, desks, sideboards and windowsills. Not large enough to dominate, not small enough to disappear. The pale, natural wood tone integrates well into almost any interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eIs it worth collecting multiple Expressions figures?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eThe series is designed to work together. Each figure stands alone — but side by side, they tell the chapters of a life: love, a wedding, joy, Oktoberfest. Same format, same designer, same material — and yet each one a different joke. As a shelf collection, the figures work like a quiet, humorous diary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-q\"\u003eIs every figure unique, or do they all look the same?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-faq-a\"\u003eThe figures are handcrafted and hand-painted. Small variations in colour and surface between individual pieces are not a defect — they’re the mark of handcraft. No two pieces are exactly alike: that’s part of the character of the Expressions series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp class=\"cm-cta\"\u003eCurated by Charles \u0026amp; Marie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Spring Copenhagen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39257403687010,"sku":"SPC_0210_00_00","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0065\/0104\/0226\/products\/Oktoberfest_Expressions_nesting_dolls_Matryoshka_Puppen_family_blauweiss_2048.jpg?v=1615449621","url":"https:\/\/chirlesindmirie.com\/en\/products\/expressions-oktoberfest-matryoshka-babushka-puppen-benjamin-hansen-spring-copenhagen","provider":"Charles \u0026 Marie's Design- \u0026 Geschenke-Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
