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

While creating different art projects, gert-jan created the Phing-Thing. Over the years 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 was able to make people feel happy. Seeing people smile and want to touch and hold it and even give comfort to some people made him decide to bring as many Phing-Things in to the world as possible; to let them do what they are meant to do ‘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.
