Quacktory

— 01 / Manifesto

"We make ducks you don't want to put in the bath — you want to put on a shelf. Small ones fit in a pocket. Big ones belong in the foyer. All of them belong in frame."

From 4 cm
to 3 m

Five lines, one silhouette. Infinite scale — from a keychain to a foyer installation. Proportions don't scale linearly: Architect is the same duck as Micro, just stood up vertically.

How we
make them

Single-piece cast from vulcanized rubber. No plastic inserts, no glued seams, no metal inside. Eyes are pigment, not stickers.

3.1

Material and eyes

Food-grade silicone compound for Micro and Classic. Natural rubber with EPDM additives for Designer, Mega, and Architect. Eyes are pigment, applied after vulcanization with food-grade silicone dye that's UV- and water-resistant.

  • Food-grade silicone / natural rubber
  • Eyes are paint, not plastic inserts
  • Free of phthalates and bisphenol A
3.2

Technology by line

From injection molding under pressure in 45 seconds to sculptural casting in a master model with CNC milling in 2–4 weeks.

Quality control

Each duck passes five checks. For Architect — an extended protocol with ultrasonic inspection of frame welds and a photo installation protocol.

  1. Visual inspection
  2. Geometry: beak, eyes, feet, ±2%
  3. 1 m drop test onto concrete
  4. Odor test (vulcanization check)
  5. Gravimetry ±3% of reference

Compliance

Certifications per GOST 25779-83, EN 71-3, REACH. Operating range −20 °C … +60 °C. Indoor only. Protected from direct UV and oils/solvents.

Custom =
choice from
the palette

12 signature TPM Pantone equivalents. Through-mass body pigment — not a surface paint. Timelines and pricing are predictable. A fully custom color is discussed as a new formula development.
