Noferin Duo Creates Environmentally Conscious Art

Noferin embodies the combined efforts of Candy, a graphic designer and painter, and Nick, environmentally conscious writer and sculpter. The results of this duo are whimsical sculptures and prints of the Pecanpals.catch

The characters art brought to life through playful prints and cheerful wooden sculptures. Follow the Pecanpals’ adventures through the stories told in the hand-carved, hand-painted prints. Or make up your own tales by playing with a wooden Pecanpal.

Recently Noferin announced their Natural Wood Series of Pecanpals, following the success of their previous coloured wood edition. Pecanpals are made from 100% sustainably harvested wood from rubber tree that would otherwise go to waste.

My favorite design aspect is the contemporary take on a vintage look, especially in the prints. I love the how the colors are fused with detailed illustrations and how the wood grains are enhanced.

Be sure to visit Noferin’s online gallery to browse the prints and illustrations and see how Pecanpals interact with nature and enjoy their little world.
