Baby Ping

PING originates from a Soviet tin toy, a penguin, placed in his grandparents' food cupboard, and who, in the mind of the then little boy, was monitoring his every move. Back then, Andras was 5. The child's fear morphed into a sweet memory, and he sculpted this collection. As he was creating prototypes, the shapes became more refined and the PING family was born. PING is not only a series of 4 containers, they're also company for life.
