SCROLL
Size lineup
A five-piece ladder, 4 centimetres to 3 metres — cast in the same ivory-cream body, scaled at the wheel, sealed with a brass cartouche.
§ 03 · The Cartouche
A shape that carries the house.
The oval cartouche is older than any of the rooms it has hung in. We borrowed its frame from the perfumer's cabinet — a vessel whose every label is meant to outlast its maker — and pressed it into brass for the chest of every Quacktory duck.
It survives every change of scale, every finish, every edition. It is the only constant.
§ 03 · Two-Tone
"We reduced the palette to a single argument: ink against cream. The forest outside the cabinet is borrowed; the cabinet itself is only two values."
No third colour. No third voice. The same restraint that lets a Latin inscription hold a perfume label for a century.
§ 04 · The Apothecary
A cabinet, lit by one candle.
The Apothecary is the direction our ducks arrive from: walnut shelves, glass stoppers, dried lavender tied with kitchen twine. The light in this room is not studio light. It is candlelight that has learned where the duck should sit.
