Why are there so few figurines available in the shop?

Sometimes we need to focus on special commissions. When this happens, there may be fewer figurines available in the shop due to increased demand. If you’re interested in a particular figurine, feel free to reserve it. To do this, just click “Contact”.

What materials are Nana figurines made of?

Different materials are used depending on where the figurine is to be placed.

  • One-of-a-kind figurines are elaborately crafted using a special type of wood material (wood maché) which is moulded over a framework before being sanded down until smooth. These figurines must remain indoors.
  • Figurines intended to be placed outdoors (garden statues, for example) are made using synthetic resin (GFK or epoxy) for better weather resistance.
  • Figurines created for a series or limited series are cast in ceramic, synthetic resin or refined paper maché.
All figurines are handcrafted with loving attention to detail.

Are the paints light-resistant?

Yes, we use exclusively high-grade, light-resistant paints that don't fade. The colours are also protected by the final sealing using a glossy 2K clear varnish with integrated UV protection filter.

Is it also possible to commission special figurines?

Yes, if you have a special request and would like your ideas incorporated into the design, you can commission a custom figurine.
