Q: What is the "soft" style — how does it differ from the other hedgehogs in the range?
The term "soft" refers to an interpretation of the hedgehog in which the spikes are rendered with a smooth and rounded texture, rather than sharp and realistic. The overall silhouette is rounder and more compact, the finish more homogeneous and softer. It is not a stylized or abstract hedgehog — it remains immediately recognizable — but the approach favors decorative softness over strict naturalistic realism. It is the model that best integrates into interior decors or zen spaces.
Q: What is the difference between this soft hedgehog and the hedgehog on leaf from the range?
Two differences. The format : the hedgehog on leaf (9x6xH6cm, 120 g) is a true miniature with a narrative element (the integrated leaf). This soft hedgehog (13-23 cm, 300-750 g) is a more imposing sculpture, without an integrated decorative element. The use : the hedgehog on leaf is classified as balcony & terrace; this soft hedgehog is also classified as outdoor garden — it can be placed directly on the ground in a garden.
Q: Can these hedgehogs stay outside all year round?
Yes — the technical sheet explicitly mentions the outdoor garden in addition to balcony & terrace. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated for UV resistance. No special precautions for winter. The weight of 750 g for the large size ensures good stability in the wind.
Q: What size do you recommend?
It all depends on the space. The small (13x11xH11cm, 300 g) is ideal for a pot, a windowsill, a shelf, or a small terrace space. The large (23x16xH16cm, 750 g) is better suited for a garden, a low wall, a terrace, or a wider piece of furniture — it has the presence of a true decorative piece. If you are unsure, both together are the most successful composition.
Q: Is this hedgehog suitable for a child's room?
Yes — it is even one of its distinctive arguments. The soft style, without sharp spikes and with a soft, round silhouette, is perfectly suited for a children's space. It does not have the "wild" look of ultra-realistic hedgehogs. Placed on a shelf, a dresser, or a windowsill in a child's room, it brings a tender and caring nature note.
