Max the Painter

Every masterpiece begins with a single brushstroke.

Meet Max the Painter, joyfully at work as he transforms a simple egg into a colorful work of art. With palette in one paw and paintbrush in the other, Max carefully adds bright details and a heartfelt design—proving that creativity is all about putting love into what you create.

This delightful figure is a special FRIENDS product from our FRIEND Hobler, a traditional artisan workshop in Grünhainichen, Germany. Known for clean lines, playful storytelling, and exceptional wooden craftsmanship, Hobler creates pieces that feel modern yet timeless.

Handcrafted from fine maple and beech wood, Max features smooth natural finishes and carefully painted details. The small silver heart on his left foot—Hobler’s signature—represents the care, passion, and dedication that go into every figure. Standing approximately 3.5 inches (9 cm) tall, he is the perfect size to brighten a shelf, desk, or seasonal display.

Whether displayed for Easter, gifted to an artist at heart, or kept as a reminder to embrace creativity, Max the Painter celebrates imagination, craftsmanship, and the simple joy of making something beautiful.

A charming little artist who reminds us that life is best lived in full color.
