Zephyr is a company that is headed by Dirk Claesen (*14 juli 2014) and Hedwig Snoeckx. Dirk founded zephyr twenty years ago. There are made replicas and reconstructions of hominids, animals and objects. These are often made on behalf of (natural history and prehistorical) museums. Almost all of these objects serve for educational purposes and try to mimic reality as closely as possible a kind of hyper-realism so that people are surprised that it looks like they face a real animal or person.
