Destination Japan

Posted by elizabeth leach


Destination Japan is a collection of products by Japanese designers sold exclusively at MOMA. Among the collection are some very interesting, beautifully crafted, and funny products for kids. These are my favorites.

Animal Object by Erect (above): The pink elephant and green polar bear are exact replicas of the live animals but only five inches high.

ABC Ring Cards by Koshiro Toda: 47, Sturdy alphabet cards with removable ring. Images hand drawn with English and Japanese spellings.

Elephant Plush by Chinatsu Ban: Plush elephant wearing undies. Apparently, animals wearing underwear is a theme for this designer.

See these and many others at MOMA.
