Since meeting in art school in 2004, Laurens (Loulou) and Chantal (Tummie) have been creating colourful characters and stories for children, adults, and leading brands alike. Their distinctive, playful style has lent itself to books, animation, toys, packaging, advertising and everything in between. They served world renowned brands such as Netflix, Disney, Google, Samsung, Nickelodeon and Warner Bros. Besides commissioned projects they develop self-initiated projects like prints, pins, hand made toys, wooden figures and kids clothes. Self-produced art toys are designer collectibles created and manufactured independently by the artist or small teams without the backing of a large toy company or mass-market brand. These toys are often highly personal, artistic expressions and are usually made in limited runs. Key Characteristics include independent creation where the artist is in control of the entire process from concept, sculpting, and painting to production and packaging. These are usually made in small batches, often 10–100 pieces, which adds to their rarity, made using materials like resin, sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl), or 3D-printed components.
