Behind the Design

This commemorative design celebrates the memory of Lonesome George (Chelonoidis abingdonii), a global symbol of the Galápagos and a powerful reminder of the fragility of island life. The illustration features volcanic rocks, cacti, plants, and elements from his natural environment, including vegetation associated with his diet, all brought together in an earthy color palette that reinforces his connection to the island landscape.

At the top, the design references the former 5,000-sucre banknote, which also featured the Galápagos penguin and the flightless cormorant. This visual detail connects the archipelago’s natural history with Ecuador’s cultural memory. More than a tribute to an extinct species, this design seeks to represent the resilience, uniqueness, and irreplaceable value of Galápagos wildlife, inviting us to remember, reflect, and protect what is still alive.

Description

A small piece of Ecuador created to stay with you.

Our illustrated magnets transform iconic species from Galápagos and Ecuador into small decorative pieces full of color and detail, designed for refrigerators, magnetic boards, and other everyday spaces.

Each magnet combines a sturdy structure with a high-quality illustrated surface, where selected details receive a glossy finish that contrasts delicately with the matte areas and adds depth to the artwork.

Available in different compositions and shapes —with rounded corners or an arch silhouette— they are small objects designed to bring a piece of Ecuador’s biodiversity into your home.

Materials & Sustainability

Each magnet is built on a firm and lightweight base, with a magnetic layer on the back that allows it to attach easily to compatible metal surfaces.

The illustration is applied using a high-quality printing process and finished with selective UV gloss, used to highlight certain elements through subtle contrasts in shine and texture.

Rounded shapes and carefully finished edges provide a pleasant feel and a clean, durable presentation.

Each piece is finally presented on a backing made with recycled material, designed to complement the product without taking attention away from the artwork.

Impact

We like to think of souvenirs as more than objects that simply remind us of a place.

Each magnet uses illustration as a way to keep the species and landscapes that make Ecuador extraordinary present in everyday life, transforming a small object into an opportunity to continue talking about biodiversity.

We also aim for the presentation to reflect the way we work, using recycled material in the packaging and avoiding unnecessarily complex packaging.

Small objects, great stories of nature.
