Serious ducks for un-serious people
We make ducks you'll want
to keep on a shelf rather than float in a bath.
Small ones — in your pocket. Big ones — in the lobby. All of them — in the frame.

01 — Size
One duck. From a thumb to a bear.
The silhouette doesn't scale linearly — Architect reads as "the same duck", not as a slightly enlarged Micro.
Micro · Classic · Designer · Mega · Architect
02 — Lineups
Five sizes, five characters.
One silhouette — five scenarios: keychain, bathtub, collaboration, photo object, installation.
Bathtub classic
Limited editions with illustrators
Photo object and gift-with-impact
Installation and brand object
03 — How we make them
Single-piece rubber. No seams. No plastic inside.
The body is moulded as one piece. The eyes are painted by hand with food-grade silicone dye. The silhouette is invariant. The eye decoration is the variation.
Material
Food-grade silicone compound for Micro and Classic. Natural rubber with EPDM additives for Designer, Mega and Architect. No plastic inserts, no metal, no glued seams.
Eyes
Paint, not inserts. Black pupil + white sclera. Decorations (sparkle, heart, star, square pupil) are allowed only when the chosen design supports them. UV- and water-resistant.
Technology
Micro — injection, 45 seconds per cycle. Classic — compression, 3 minutes. Designer — hand-poured flask, 1 cycle per day. Mega — rotational with reinforcing frame. Architect — sculptural casting from a master model.
Quality control
Five checks: visual, geometry with ±2% tolerance, 1 m drop test, smell test, gravimetric ±3%. Architect — extended protocol with ultrasonic inspection of welded frame seams.
Compliance
GOST 25779-83, EN 71-3, REACH. Phthalate-free and BPA-free. Temperature range: −20 °C … +60 °C. Indoor use only. Care — warm water and mild soap.
Packaging
Recycled cardboard, no polyethylene. Designer — embossing + paper certificate. Mega — corrugated box + foam cradle. Architect — wooden crate with climate control.
04 — B2B · Custom
Twelve signature Pantones. Mass-dyed, not surface-painted.
The pigment goes into the mass before moulding. Lead times and prices stay predictable. A fully custom colour (an outside Pantone) is treated as new-formula development: plus 2 weeks, plus 15% to the price.
- Micro / Classic — 3 weeks
- Designer — 6 weeks (author approval)
- Mega — 6 weeks
- Architect — 12 weeks (incl. site survey and install)
