The latest news from the ice floe.

Sculptures, bronzes and animated prints in limited editions.
Why not invite the Anooki into your home? The Anooki bring tenderness, love and smiles to the home... and a little awareness to our minds.

The Anooki step into Galerie Estades. An exceptional exhibition at the prestigious Lyon gallery, showcasing the creations of Moetu and David. Sculptures and works on paper, published in collaboration with Evaa Art, are on show from 22 November 2025 to 10 January 2026.

The artwork Les Charmeurs is on display at the Musée Jean Couty, in an exhibition celebrating Lyon art from the 20th century to the present day, featuring more than 100 works. A proud moment for the artists Moetu & David, exhibiting alongside such great names.

“Lyon, ville rêvée” exhibition, until 18 January 2026 at the Musée Jean Couty.

Their ice floe has melted, so the Anooki are carrying on with their journey around the world. For the very first time, they’re stopping off in Croatia to light up the nights of the Festival of Lights Zagreb.

An Inuit kiss on European Square, or a surprise appearance at Dolac Market? Join them in Zagreb from 15 to 19 March 2023.

Giant Anooki are touring Asia from mid-November 2019 to the end of January 2020. These 6m-tall light sculptures will brighten up the streets of Ruihong and the Xiandi Hub in Shanghai, then wander off to Kaohsiung, in the south of Taiwan, before wrapping up their tour in the mountains of Chongqing, China’s 3rd-largest city.

A daily shot of animation on the public broadcaster’s new news service. Famous for lighting up the most beautiful façades of the world’s great cities and for being swapped on Facebook Messenger as über-cute stickers, the Anooki are now moving in on franceinfo, French public broadcasting’s new news service. These two cheeky, funny Inuit hail from a faraway ice floe, a pure and minimalist world far removed from our hyper-connected civilisation, drowning in messages and information. This privileged vantage point gives them the distance they need to take an offbeat, subversive and sometimes sarcastic look at current affairs. Just like the news, the Anooki are often unpredictable – but unlike the news, they always want to make us smile. Politics, terrorism, doping, climate issues, the business of sport… no subject is off-limits for the Anooki. Their only rule: never take sides. Catch them every day on franceinfo and on social media.

Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris, unveils JCDecaux’s new connected, eco-friendly bus shelters. The Anooki Card app is one of 11 apps selected by the City of Paris. You can now send an Anooki Card to your friends while you wait for the bus.

The Anooki took over Saint-Paul station in Lyon for 4 nights during the 2012 Fête des Lumières

On 6 September, the official release of Anooki Jump, the game for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Enjoy!

After their tour of France, pictures are coming in from Japan. In Tokyo, the Eiffel Tower is red, and the Anooki look as if they’ve always lived there. Domo Arigato, Karen, for these photos!

214 kg of Nooki and 226 kg of Anook (there aren’t more of her – she’s just heavier!) The boxes are a bit squashed, but the figurines are intact. Just enough time to: – receive the shipping boxes (tomorrow) – sign the boxes (the day after tomorrow) – take photos (today) – install the Post Office software (tomorrow) – launch the shop (the day after the day after tomorrow) … … and everyone who pre-ordered will be able to place their order! Yes!

This autumn, the Anooki take over the columns of Liverpool Town Hall for the River of Light 2026 festival. The theme, “Together”, suits them perfectly: after all, one never goes without the other!

“The Shy Ones” play hide-and-seek with the public behind the building’s great columns. The work turns the space into a real little playground, inviting visitors to join in and share moments of smiles and togetherness.

Music, light installations, culinary delights and two Anooki in the “Magic Forest”, from 19 Nov. to 7 Dec. 2025.

The Anooki cross the Channel and take up residence in the heart of the British capital for Here We Glow, a family-friendly light trail at Westfield London.

The Anooki return to Lyon to celebrate 25 years of the Fête des Lumières. For their 4th appearance, they’ve found a brand-new playground. You’ll be able to meet them in the beautiful, fragile setting of the Parc de la Tête d’Or.

The Anooki take over the vast Place Bellecour and turn it into a little child’s bedroom. For the first time ever, the Anooki step out of the projection to become giant illuminated objects. The show won the 2018 Trophée des Lumières, voted for by the Fête des Lumières audience. (photo: Muriel Chaulet)

The Institut Français d’Ukraine chose the Anooki to open the Printemps Français festival. A 15-minute light show projected onto the façade of the Ukrainian House in Kyiv on the evening of 2 April 2016.

The Anooki are now a set of Facebook stickers. You can liven up your private messages and chats with a Nooki jumping for joy or an Anook who’s dancing to a crazy beat! Just click the little smiley while typing a message to open the sticker gallery. And on iPhone it’s even better – your Anooki stickers are animated!

Anooki Roll, the third Anooki game, is out now on the App Store. And it’s free! A beautifully designed new addition to the Anooki collection. This time, it’s up to you to guide the two most restless Inuit on the web as they catch as many stars as possible while dodging big chunks of ice blown about by the wind. Tilt your phone to send them running from one side of the screen to the other. Grab the bonuses to help you hold out as long as you can and set the highest score.

How do we explain the creative process behind Anooki products? It’s actually rather simple: Anook and Nooki get up to absolutely anything. All we have to do is capture a few moments of their tumbling about to create our products. Easy, right?

We’ve been talking about it on Facebook for a while, and 6 September is the big day: Anooki Jump is out, the very first Anooki iPhone/iPad game. Made by Inook, published by Bulkypix. So be cool, don’t be stingy – it’s cheaper than a baguette!

A slightly industrial view of the Anooki. Production is moving along: to start with, these 3D files will be used to validate the shapes on a 3D printer. We’ll get resin models in different sizes and pick the one that suits us best. The process is called stereolithography (go on, here’s a quick Wikipedia link). We’ll post pictures of the resin prototypes soon. Next step: sending off the approved files to make the mould for plastic injection. For the eagle-eyed: note the space set aside for the magnet in the foot. The magnet has to stick out of the foot a tiny bit so that Nooki can do a pirouette on her metal plate when you give her a flick, and Anook can do a somersault.

A good month and a half… a few days late, but it’s all for a good cause: the final tweaks have been made (the white glint in the eyes is in the right place), they smell of fresh paint, and they look gorgeous. This very first series of 10cm resin Anook and Nooki figurines will be on sale very soon (probably late May–early June), exclusively on anooki.com. Only 500 Anook and 500 Nooki in this first series. Those who pre-ordered (in February) will of course be told first and given access to place their order. And if there are any left, you latecomers: keep an eye on the Anooki Facebook page and hit “Like”! Say a little prayer and clear some space on your desk… at best, these creatures will be yours and fill you with joy… at worst, you’ll have a tidier desk!

A rather curious Christmas awaits the people of Avignon!

5 Anooki duos in the streets of the city centre and a show on the façade of the Célestins church will dazzle visitors from 29 November to 4 January 2026.

The creators of the Anooki are taking over the Sofitel Lyon Bellecour from 2 to 15 December 2024 to exhibit their very first collection of sculptures. Unique, numbered pieces for lovers of art and design.

Anooki pop-up gallery – 2 – 15 Dec. 2024, 11am – 7pm – 47 rue Sala, Hôtel Sofitel, 69002 Lyon

Six years after their appearance at the Bella Skyway Festival, the Anooki are back in Poland from 16 to 20 August 2022.

A trail dotted with their iconic giant glowing statues will guide visitors to a brand-new monumental projection on the Collegium Maximum. The Anooki will also be putting on a show inside the snow globe set up in the middle of the Cosmopolis fountain.

Throughout December 2021, the Anooki are taking over the town of Blois. A brand-new monumental projection show in the courtyard of the Royal Château and a trail of giant art installations in the town centre. 27 Nov – 30 Dec: a 10-min. show in the château courtyard every evening after closing time. 11 Dec – 26 Dec: 4 monumental couples, 5 to 6 m tall, in the old town

Calling all Line messenger users! For the past few days, the Anooki have been livening up your messages. To add the Anooki collection to your Line app, just head this way.

The Anooki carry on their world tour of sound and light shows! After Lyon, Dubai, Sharjah, Osaka and Singapore, the Anooki are guests of honour in Kyiv. They will open the Printemps Français, a month of cultural events organised by the Institut Français in Ukraine. To kick things off with a bang, the Anooki will be merrily shaking up the Ukrainian House, a massive building and a fine example of Stalinist architecture, on European Square, a stone’s throw from Maidan Square, the stage of Ukraine’s recent revolution. This new show will be resolutely musical, with a surprise: the Dakh Daughters, 6 Ukrainian singers, will make a live appearance during the show, blending their voices with Klimperei’s music and the Anooki’s choreography. Between 25,000 and 30,000 spectators are expected on Saturday 2 April at 8.30pm and 9.30pm to watch the show on the façade of the Ukrainian House in Kyiv.

The Anooki, who brought the façade of Saint-Paul station to life during the Fête des Lumières, won the vote of France 3 and Dailymotion viewers. At the closing ceremony at the Hôtel de Ville, Anooki took home the 2012 Trophée des Lumières.

After a tough selection process, 2 pitches and some truly memorable nerves, Anooki has been named a winner of the Ateliers Orange de la Création. The project: the multi-screen Anooki animated series. Up for grabs: €80,000 in funding + production support + broadcast on Orange TV + promotion across the entire Orange network and on Dailymotion! What fantastic news! A dream come true… ANOOKI ON TV, COMING SOON!!!

Anooki has won the PRESTASHOP AWARD for best online shop in the web design and usability category. The PRESTASHOP awards ceremony took place on Thursday 24 November 2011 at the 4th Barcamp Paris. Out of more than 600 entrants, it was Anooki’s little Inuit who, once again, turned on the charm and caught the eye of the panel of professionals chosen by Prestashop. A leader in e-commerce, PrestaShop is open-source software used by more than 100,000 active shops worldwide. Shortlisted for the second year running, the Anooki online shop won the 2011 Prestashop AWARD for its web design and usability. From the outset, the shop was designed to encourage love-at-first-sight purchases: big visuals to flick through in the page background, polished, mouth-watering photos, and a big “I want it!” sticker. The jury was won over by the shop’s elegant, original and playful design, as well as the charm and quality of the products on offer. All in all, a lovely bit of limelight courtesy of the Prestashop community!

We’re cooking up a real treat for you this September. iPhone cases, laptop sleeves, mugs… a hugggge Nooki for lucky dwellers of trendy lofts… plus an iPhone game you won’t be able to put down (Android fans will have to wait just a little longer)… and a new blue schooner in Brittany in a fortnight, and a green one for the regatta on Loch Ness this summer. Right then, back to work.

What a beautiful country France is! The Anooki keep roaming the length and breadth of it. David, a friend from Lyon and nonetheless a neighbour (or the other way round), sends us an Alessi co-branding idea, Xavier catches them checking how the vines are ripening in the Bordeaux region, and Antoine packs them straight off to the beach in Arcachon.

For a fortnight now, parcels full of Anook and Nooki have been heading off to the four corners of the globe (Canada, Belgium, Korea, Switzerland, Hong Kong…!). Clearly, the Anooki are tough nuts: they arrive in one piece! Our Facebook friends are sending us their first postcards. We’re waiting for yours!

A few mishaps with the Post Office software and its labels, as sticky as they are baffling, 2 evenings spent signing 1,000 times, boxes to assemble, parcels to pack and post… all in all, the shop launch has gone rather well. And good news: the first parcels have arrived – here’s the proof: Anook and Nooki on a bistro table in La Villette. A huge thank you to Stéphanie for this snapshot! We hope to see more very soon, so don’t be shy!
