● “A surprise hidden inside the familiar appearance”
The object you are looking at appears as a familiar toy, but it comes to you with a peak of 1000 years of mother-of-pearl craft history and ducobi’s design that values innovation and passion.

Korea has longest history and advanced technique for making mother-of-pearl inlay art.

Especially inlaying a piece of pearl onto a curvy surface requires highly delicate (exquisite) technique and errors can occur, even expert craft masters had to put their best effort and concentration into our RB Mother-of-Pearl Series artworks.

Ducobi does not arrange quality of product for the convenience of production. If it’s a design that ducobi pursues, it will be manufactured regardless of difficulties and challenges.

● “Do not compromise if there is anything that affects and
damages the quality of what will be offered to our customers”
1. Finding the best curve line
RB’s design was born after thousands of sketches and hundreds of shape configurations by New York and Minneapolis design teams.

2. Finished with the best material
processed with all natural mother-of-pearl and lacquer on top of high quality resin material inside

3. philosophy of our design
in order to process curvature, it is usually fragmented into very small pieces of mother-of-pearl. However, our philosophy is to maximize our use of mother-of-pearl even if it requires 100s to process the one and only product.

● Value of RB

Contemporary design and conventional technique integrated into one to create new beauty.
