Carl & Strups live

The mascot brings Carl & Strups from the books into the real world

From figure, materials and model, a real counterpart is created step by step for bookstores, events, schools and special encounters. Carl grows from the story into the real world – tangible, present and close. Every movement, every form and every detail is carefully developed to turn an idea into a figure that truly connects with people. For encounters that last.

Currently in development with professional figure-building expertise in London.
