how our characters are made
Six distinct stages transform a simple sketch into a unique character full of colour, detail and personality.
Sketching
Every character begins with an idea. Its proportions, patterns and personality first take shape on paper.
Prototyping
The first sketch is brought to life by hand as a three-dimensional form, defining the proportions, expression and details of the character before the crafting process begins.
Crafting
Depending on size and design, our characters are either cast in resin or handcrafted in fibreglass by skilled artisans.
Painting
Layer upon layer of colour is applied by hand. Patterns, contrasts and details gradually give each character its distinctive personality.
Finishing
Gold-coloured accents, ornamental patterns and hand-applied details add the final touches to each character.
Final Check
Every character is carefully inspected in Germany and prepared for its journey.

Every piece passes through the hands of skilled artisans before it is finished. Their skill, patience and attention to detail give each one a unique personality — turning an object into a joyful character, and a character into a lasting companion.
