Design Brief
Live.
Love.
Learning about morals
Live life in harmony
Won-ang are hand-carved wooden figures representative of Mandarin Ducks,
and they are given as presents in Traditional Korean Weddings and kept forever.
Because Won-angs love each other forever, the gift of Won-ang dolls suggests to
‘always love each other’ ‘live happily ever after’
Wonang Duckie is a toy for kids to have fun with while learning a lesson.
Inspired by the Wonang tradition, it is about concepts
such as community, love, and respect others.
Won-ang Toy
Being a good partner
It may come as a single product or a couple and, with a duck shape,
it stores small parchments inside.
By the simple act of removing upper part, one can access the hidden treasure inside.
Won-ang encourages an approximation during the reading of the stories as well as
self expression and immagination when interacting with the stories or playing with the toy itself.
After the child reads all the stories, the Won-ang can be used as chest for any other
small treasures, refilled with new parchments that the parents would be able to buy,
or just easily disposed as an organic residue due to its eco-friendly materials

Stories
The Blue color follows the same style as the Wonang, with vivid color which is mainly primary colors, preferred by children.
Also, it is colored by soy based ink, which results in brighter and more vivid colors, while it’s also eco-friendly.
The wing is made of wood which is eco-friendly. Bright wood color is friendly for children and goes along well with the blue color.
The engraved pattern is done by stencil.
The stories would come rolled as small parchments.
This is a metaphor for the lesson as a treasure, a valuable piece of knowledge.
Also, this way we would add an element of surprise and excitement as the child unrolled the small piece of paper.
The papers are rolled up tightly and stored inside the duck until its internal space would be filled.
The product should be communicated as a toy by itself but also as an educational toy, since it brings lessons through the stories.
