Arthur was never meant for tents. Born in a garden on Vysočina, he belonged to wind, light, and quiet mist.

For Maker Faire Prague 2025, we gave him a new story—a London past from the 1920s, full of charm and mystery. Then we placed him under canvas, in artificial light and fog.

Far from home, Arthur still glowed. Visitors smiled. He gave joy. That was enough.
