Odujej

Odujej: Natural crayons from Jeju, South Korea

Odujej is a special brand dedicated to the celebration of the Jeju culture in South-Korea. The name Odujej comes from Jeju-do (Jeju Island), South Korea's largest island. The island was formed by the eruption of an underwater volcano. Due to this typical environment they have their own special culture. The brand focuses on the transmission of Jeju's culture in a modern way. 

The eco-friendly crayon rocks are made from a 100% natural base: beeswax and natural mineral pigments. They are free from chemicals and artificial scents. Biodegradable and have a low carbon footprint. Handmade in Jeju-do, an island in South Korea.

Mudle Crayon: mindful and creative

Whether for drawing, creating, or simply as a special object on the desk, Mudle chalk invites creativity: engaging all the senses. It is gentle on the skin, feels warm in the hand, and evokes associations with fire, stone, and wind. A piece of Jeju for home. With every chalk stroke, you can feel the island: rough, gentle, alive.

Mudle crayons: stone sculptures

Mudle is a Jeju dialect word meaning stone pile, a pile of stones from the field. The stone culture of Jeju seems to have developed through agricultural life, which required farmers to even out the bumpy fields caused by stones. There are mudles stacked everywhere despite them serving no purpose.

You can create a variety of sculptures and the rocks will change their shape each time when the crayons are used, so you can then stack them up in a new sculpture. We love the mindfulness, creativeness and cultural background of this lovely product!

Odujej Hand Axe

The Handaxe Crayons by Odujej adopt the form of a prehistoric hand axe: a tool that symbolizes humanity's earliest forms of expression. Odujej combines archaic design language with contemporary color aesthetics, becoming a special object bridging art, play, and history. A creative way to introduce children (and adults) to early tools, art, and forms!

This special edition crayon by Odujej was created in cooperation with the "Jeongok Prehistory Museum" from South Korea.
