Nobody knows exactly what Phing-Things are and where they come from.


How it started….

Phing-Things are created by Gert-Jan Vlaming, a dutch artist. He saw with amazement what this little statue does. The reactions that people had when they saw the Phing-Things for the first time was an inspiring moment for him. The Phing-Thing is able to make people feel happy. Phing-Things are meant to ‘spread happiness’.

The concept of spreading happiness is a very simple mission statement with such a powerful effect when achieved. This is about trying to bring a moment of joy to a strangers life. Everybody reacts in a different way and every interaction is an opportunity to spread that happiness a little further.

Everything done fair….

It is important that everything around the Phing-Things is done in a fair and honest way. Spreading happiness start in the way the are made. For the white plaster based Phing-Things, we work with a variety of community based organisations in Holland who create paid work for disabled people for whom it is difficult to find a regular job. Wooden Phing-Things are produced on a fair trade basis on the beautiful island of Bali from Pinas wood which is common on the island.
