Serious
ducks for
un-serious
people.

01 / Manifesto Plate I

We make ducks you don't want to drop in the water — you want to put them on a shelf. The small ones go in a pocket. The large ones go in a lobby. All of them go on camera.

4 cm → 3 m

The full scale ladder, in one line. Same silhouette, same mould philosophy, five conversations with the same duck.

What we believe

We turn the most mundane object in the bathroom into a piece of design, a collector's item, and an architectural gesture.

02 / The scale

From thumb-sized
to bear-sized, all in
one line.

The same duck, scaled five times. Body proportions do not scale linearly — the 3 m duck must read as the same duck as the 4 cm one. That is the architectural move.

03 / The collection

Five lines,
one silhouette.

  1. 01

    Material

    Single-piece moulding of vulcanised rubber. Food-grade silicone compound for Micro and Classic, natural rubber with EPDM additives for Designer, Mega and Architect. No plastic inserts, no metal inside, no glued seams.

  2. 02

    Eyes

    Painted, not inserted. Black pupil and white sclera, the same base mould relief across every SKU. Pigment is applied by hand post-vulcanisation with food-grade silicone dye that resists UV and water.

  3. 03

    Moulding

    Injection for Micro. Compression for Classic. Hand-casting in silicone for Designer runs under 300. Rotational moulding for Mega, with an internal fibreglass frame. Sculptural casting against a CNC-milled master for Architect.

  4. 04

    Quality control

    Five checks per duck: visual inspection (no porosity, streaks, short shots), geometry (beak, eyes, feet present, proportions within ±2%), drop test for Micro and Classic, smell test, gravimetry within ±3%. Architect gets ultrasonic inspection of the welded seams and an on-site assembly photo protocol.

  5. 05

    Compliance

    EN 71-3 for chemical migration, REACH for no phthalates or bisphenol A. Operating range −20 °C to +60 °C. Indoor only, protect from direct UV and from oils or solvents. Wash with warm water and mild soap, no abrasives, alcohol or bleach.

  6. 06

    Packaging

    Recycled cardboard and paper-pulp inserts. No polyethylene. A care card and a QR code ship with every duck. Mega ships on a pallet. Architect ships in a wooden crate with climate control, installed by a specialised crew.

05 / Custom & B2B

Pick a colour from the menu. We tint the rubber before moulding.

Custom means body-through pigment, not paint on top. Twelve branded shades sit in the Quacktory Pigment Menu. A fully arbitrary third-party Pantone is a separate quote: plus two weeks to the lead time, plus fifteen per cent to the price. A new duck shape is a separate project with its own master model.
