Meet the Framily: The Nine Characters of Eric + Eloise

Meet the Framily: The 9 Characters of the Eric + Eloise Collection

If you’ve ever been enchanted by the Eric + Eloise Collection, you know these aren’t just home décor pieces, they’re characters with personalities, quirks, and backstories. Artist Jessica Hiemstra imagined this whimsical crew first as storybook friends, then brought them to life as wall mounts, busts, dishstands, and more. Together, they’re affectionately known as the “framily”, a found family of animals who remind us that friendship can be as diverse as the forest.

Here’s your guide to meeting all nine members:

Eric the Hare

Eric is the heart of the collection, the determined, mustached hare who leads with wit and a twinkle in his monocled eye. He’s the perfect blend of charming and slightly mischievous, always the first to show up and the last to leave a good party. His tall ears and upright posture make him an instant statement piece whether on your wall or table.

Best For: Entryways (he looks like he’s welcoming you home), mantels, and library walls.

Eloise the Fox

Eloise is clever, chic, and bespeckled in her signature wire-rim glasses. The fox in Jessica’s original storybook, she balances Eric’s energy with quiet wisdom and style. Eloise is the ideal choice for spaces where you want to add a touch of intellectual charm, offices, reading nooks, and bedrooms.

Best For: Flanking mirrors, sitting atop shelves, or grouped with Eric for a perfectly mismatched pair.

Frankie the Stag

The dapper buck of the group, Frankie is instantly recognizable with his antlers and signature pipe. He brings a bit of lodge-style drama and old-world gravitas to your décor. Frankie is also one of the tallest pieces in the collection, which makes him perfect as a centerpiece for a mantel or gallery wall.

Best For: Statement spots, above a fireplace, anchoring a console table, or leading a woodland-themed grouping.

Eugene the Moose

Distinguished and slightly comical in his monocle, Eugene is both noble and approachable. His wide antlers make him a commanding presence, yet his gentle expression keeps him from feeling too formal.

Best For: Large spaces like great rooms or entry halls, where he can show off those antlers without bumping into anything.

Louie the Mouse

Louie may be the smallest in size, but he’s big on personality. With his little bowtie and curious expression, he’s often the first piece people add to their collection, and then they can’t resist adding friends.

Best For: Bookshelves, desks, bedside tables, and kid-friendly spaces where a touch of whimsy is welcome.

Beatrice the Bear

Beatrice is round-faced and bespectacled, giving her a warm, approachable vibe. She’s the “mother figure” of the framily, steady and kind, perfect for cozy spaces that call for a comforting presence.

Best For: Bedrooms, nurseries, or tucked into a cozy reading corner.

Charlie the Duck

Charlie, with his aviator cap, is always ready for an adventure. He brings a playful, slightly retro travel vibe and is guaranteed to make guests smile.

Best For: Hallways, offices, and children’s rooms, anywhere that could use a reminder that life is an adventure.

 Emerson the Pheasant

Tall, sleek, and dapper, Emerson wears his top hat proudly. He brings an air of elegance and formality, perfect for more refined spaces.

Best For: Dining rooms, bar areas, or formal living rooms that need a little personality.

Margie the Doe

Gentle and graceful, Margie is the quieter counterpart to Frankie. She brings softness and a sense of calm, making her ideal for more serene spaces.

Best For: Bedrooms, nurseries, or balanced groupings with Frankie and Eugene for a full woodland tableau.

Why Collect Them All

Each character has its own charm, but together they tell a richer story. Mixing sizes and personalities creates a dynamic gallery wall or tabletop vignette that sparks conversation and makes your space feel curated and unique.

Whether you start with Eric and Eloise or jump straight to a big personality like Eugene, the joy is in building your framily over time. Collecting them isn’t just decorating, it’s storytelling.
