STORY OF NALDAK

Chicken, which have been domesticated by the human-supplied food, have deteriorated their wings, becoming unable to fly. This was the background that inspired us to create chicken ceramic dolls called ‘Naldak’.

Winged soul always seeking out adventure, the Naldak, became a dream for other chickens in a coop.
