在大学原本学习的是服装设计，她在一个偶然的机会走上了创作海洋生物玩具的道路。最初她为了迎接自己侄女诞生，为她创作了一只超过一米长的白色章鱼玩具。之后她又为她好友刚诞生的儿子创作了另外一个玩具礼物。这些非常可爱的礼物引起了人们的赞赏，于是，BigStuffed 系列就此诞生。

随着发展，玩具也不仅仅局限在章鱼这种生物上…驼背鲸，海星，沙丁鱼，螃蟹，抹香鲸等等动物都家具队列。Dana Muskat想象这些动物都来自海洋，却被遗弃，他们寻找着自己的新家，自己的新主人，他们下垂的眼睛下面是一个愿意分享的心，你愿意听听他们的冒险故事吗？

这些可爱的小精灵都是由

亲自画出来，然后配上颜色，纹理。她尽量使这些小精灵们看上去简单，就像一个枕头，让我们很容易拥抱住。材料选择上，Dana Muskat尽量选择天然的棉花和羊毛。此外这些可爱的玩具们主色调都非常浅和柔和，没准他们就是海洋中的天使呢。

from the designer: Hey, I’m

Dana Muskat

, I live and work in Paris and I’m making Stuffed animals under the name BigStuffed.

After completing my BA in fashion design I came to Paris. I was lucky to have worked with big fashion houses such as Lanvin and Giambattista Vali, but after a short while the industry started to wear me out and it dawned on me that what I want to do is to create something of my own.

BigStuffed was conceived sort of by chance, following the birth of my baby niece . I made her a “welcome to the world” gift – a white octopus, meter long from head to tentacle.

A short while later I made another gift for my good friend’s new baby boy, very quickly the word spread.  BigStuffed was born.

Following the demand I began to expand my array of characters, the octopus was joined by the humpback whale, a starfish, sting- rays, one long sardine, the huge crab and last but not least the sperm whale.

Their story is that of the Albino underwater creatures, following my attraction to pastel colors, the story came naturally. Abandoned at birth by their families in the depths of the ocean because of their difference. Now they are looking for a new family to adopt them, their new owners. Each has a unique feel and look to it except for the trademark droopy eyes  which they all share, paying homage to their sad adventures.

Stories of abandonment are not fiction, this is what happens in nature sometimes when a baby is born different from everyone …. this is actually my version for ‘The ugly duckling’ story 🙂

I draw my inspirations form real animals, their shape, colors and textures, then I simplified the shape to make it resemble more of a pillow, allowing the body to embrace it. The fabrics I choose are mostly natural cottons and wools, the colors are mostly pastels with little touches of bold colors for some animals.

I wanted to create a world of light colored sea animals , a bit like angels or white birds that live under water … I started researching and found all those beautiful white creatures living in the dark ocean looking so impressive and different and fell in love with the idea of albino sea creatures….
