The Annual Teddy Bear

6/1/2020

 
An annual gift to surprise valued stake-holders remains a great way to create a lasting impression.

Our long-term client PropertyGuru, South East Asia's leading PropTech company knows this (all) too well and over the years, their annual gift became a true collectors item.

Handpicked was pleased to be part of this co-creation once again and assisted in the design, production and shipping of the one and only Teddy Bear.

Have a look as we highlight some of the steps of this production taking place in a handpicked factory in Guangzhou, China.  ​

​Compared to previous years, this Teddy Bear was blessed with a slightly bigger head and smaller legs, adding more cuteness to the soft-toy. Below some pictures and a short video of this years Teddies-models.

As the CEO says, "Sometimes clients must somewhat take a 'gamble' before selecting a specific (preliminary) design.  After that it is up to us, the architects to deliver, since the rough strokes from the first drawings need to be replaced by accuracy and finesse."
Picture
"The dices represent the playfulness and the “gamble" factor, whereas the box is the main structure holding the creative impulses in check."
