House of Ingri

Now who can resist the little devil Marty shown here?

My dear friend Ingri Von Bergen used to entertain all of us here at work by drawing these quirky yet lovable characters on post-it notes and any scrap of paper that was left laying around. After moving to Brooklyn in 2002, she took it to the next level by converting her quirky yet lovable creations into plush dolls. What was once a side project has now morphed into a full-time gig as she, along with an assistant, creates all her 18″ dolls lovingly by hand. Ingri recently informed me that her site, House of Ingri, has been redesigned with a fancy new shop to take orders.

Oh, and check it: the dolls were featured in a book for preschoolers called Me! Me! ABC, by Harriet Ziefert. These cute little guys are quite the life of the party when you’re not looking, so watch out.

    Cute and all, but doesn´t it get a little tiring with all those plush creatures? I cannot recall how many of them by how many people i have seen lately and they all look pretty much alike…

    I do agree. It’s like all other fads. The market will get flooded and out they go.

    Ingri’s been doing this for several years now and she says that she’s busier than ever.
