Following the announcement of their monumental partnership, CASETiFY unveils the TAKASHI MURAKAMI x CASETiFY: MR. DOB collection. Apart from brand new designs of MR. DOB – the iconic artist’s very own ‘Avatar’ created way back in 1993 and a cornerstone in his visual language – on its signature tech accessories, this collection is the brand’s first-ever artist collaboration for its new CASETiFY Travel line, featuring a limited-edition Bounce Carry-on adorned with Murakami’s titular character. Following the Bounce Carry-On’s successful launch in the U.S.A. and South Korea last December, this limited-edition MR. DOB iteration will be available in very limited quantities through select distribution channels across South Korea, U.S.A., Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and China.
Celebrating MR. DOB, the collection offers a view at MR. DOB‘s various renaissances throughout the years, symbolising Murakami’s evolving artistic vision. The collection marks a historic moment as the inaugural release in the CASETiFY ICONS Collection, a new premium tier of partnerships that brings together major cultural forces who define our times. Through the CASETiFY ICONS Collection, legendary creators and iconic brands will transform everyday accessories into limited-edition pieces, complete with experiential moments and unexpected product innovations that push creative boundaries. Starting today, fans worldwide can preview the full collection and join the waitlist online for exclusive early access before the global launch on Fri – Apr 11. © superfuture
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
