The story of the Wally & WallyScale app
Hi, my name is Thomas F. Ludwigsen, the brains behind Hjortekær Danmark ApS, where we conjure up Wally and the smart WallyScale app. Throughout my childhood, a Gepo 5000 kitchen scale has hung in the exact same spot in the kitchen of our summer house.
This is where the Wally adventure started back in 2015. I vividly remember stopping and taking the orange weight off the nail and looking at it with my children. A, until this summer day, piece of totally overlooked everyday design – but a childhood icon nonetheless. The reason why I notice the scale must be that I have previously come across the Gepo 5000 at flea markets, etc. In addition, before this vacation I had read about the combination, app-kitchen scale-nutrition.
With that, part of my fate was sealed. Since then, I’ve been obsessed with connecting an updated and modernized Gepo 5000 to a cool, meaningful app.
September 2015 I went on freelancer.com and named the project “Retroscale”. I was looking for freelancers to help me develop logo and name tag. In February 2016, I met David, a designer/graphic artist. From there, the project takes shape and my passion for entrepreneurship is reignited.
After 1000 delays, China, Covid, Suez and later Ukraine, the first batch order lands in Denmark on December 22, 2020.
Lockdown and life as a newly appointed salesperson takes its toll on stubbornness and the cape is frayed at the ends.
Good advice is expensive and calls to join the TV show “The Lion’s Den” seem increasingly tempting. In February 2022, Wally was introduced to all of Denmark by me…! Immediately after his debut on national television, Hjortekær Danmark ApS is once again full of enthusiasm and has a strong belief in the future.
