More about TUD — The Ugly Duck
A brand based in Dubai
The TUD Company is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and develops, produces and distributes collectible art objects. Its practice sits between art and product design, using a recurring form for different artistic interpretations.
The Ugly Duck idea
The character draws on a story of transformation. The brand associates the ugly duckling with people discovering their potential despite their starting circumstances. A shared shape connects the collection, while colours and visual details distinguish each release.
Collaborations at ArtComburo
The selection includes Viva la Vida, dedicated to Frida Kahlo; Quackulla and Duckulla with Harif Guzman; King of Pop with references to Michael Jackson; and Eggstraw from the Chupa Chups series.
Models in the selection span 60 cm and 90 cm formats. Edition sizes, stated NFC authentication features and specifications must be checked for each individual release.
