Blind Hounds
art toys

Blind Hounds is a limited-edition series of collectible art toys created to put the North Estonian Blind Association in the spotlight. We took the project from first sketch to finished figure — character design, 3D modelling, 3D printing, packaging graphics and a dedicated website.

The story

From brief to result

01

The concept

Charity campaigns are easy to scroll past. A collectible is not. The idea was a small run of designer art toys that people would want to own, display and talk about — with every conversation leading back to the North Estonian Blind Association.

02

Built with the neighbourhood

We developed the characters together with artists from Blind Sound Studio and the creative minds at Spekter, so that the figures reflect the spirit of the whole Tondi neighbourhood in Tallinn rather than a single studio.

03

Made one by one

We designed four unique models in a total edition of sixteen. Every figure was modelled in 3D, printed in-house and then finished and painted individually by hand — no two pieces are exactly alike.

Interactive · Drag the handle

Designed to be printed

Every Blind Hound was modelled as separate parts — head, body, hands and sneakers — so each could be printed cleanly, finished by hand and assembled. Drag the handle to compare the finished character with its print-ready parts.
