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.

chapter 02 · the making
How we make them
3.1
Material
Single-piece moulding of vulcanised rubber. Food-grade silicone for Micro and Classic; natural rubber with EPDM additives for Designer, Mega and Architect. No plastic inserts, no metal inside, no glued seams.
3.1
Eyes
Paint, not inserts. Black pupil and white sclera, applied post-vulcanisation by hand with food-grade silicone dye that resists UV and water. Decoration only when the design allows.
3.2
By line
Injection for Micro. Compression for Classic. Hand-casting for Designer, ≤ 300 units. Rotational moulding with internal fibreglass frame for Mega. Sculptural casting against a CNC-milled master for Architect.
3.3
QC
Five checks per duck: visual, geometry, drop, smell, gravimetry. Architect gets ultrasonic frame inspection and an on-site assembly photo protocol.
3.4
Compliance
EN 71-3, REACH, no phthalates, no bisphenol A. Age marking on every package. Operating range −20 °C … +60 °C. Indoor only — UV degrades pigment after two years.
3.6
Packaging
Recycled cardboard for Micro, paper-pulp inserts for Classic, embossed card with paper certificate for Designer, double-wall corrugated for Mega, wooden crate with climate control for Architect.
