#bunniguru

The start was strong but the ending failed to deliver... if only they had paced the pinch points of Bunniguru and Blister closer, made them more impactful. Maybe I am expecting too much from a kids show.....

Originally by Nathan Jurevicius, produced by Flying Cat Toys Nakanari is back customising and Nathan’s Bunniguru & egg was customed to Nakanari own signature style. Block colours and crisp lines, Nakanari is back doing what he does best. Turing Bunniguru into something a tad more darker but still has Nakanari chunky look to it. Digging that broken heart on the…

For the past two years, K.olin tribu has been working their magic with sculptural art toys in limited-edition porcelain runs of popular and in many cases iconic figures. The brand was founded by art toy collector Matthieu Dutheil in 2009, ever since K.Olin Tribu mergres the modern influences of graffiti, comics, and fashion with the classical tradition and craftsmanship of Limoges porcelain. K.Olin Tribu derives its name from Kaolin, a white clay mineral, also known as kaolin in French or china clay; while Tribu means tribe in French.

Of course, in this case the classical luxurious Limoges porcelain looks beyond its classic use of fine tableware as it is transformed in the hands of French graffiti artist Steph Cop, Frank Kozik, and artist Ron English, only to add Nathan Jurevicius to the list.  Production at K.Olin Tribu is overseen by the artists and expert artisans; each figure is cast by hand and undergoes a scrutinizing procedure to ensure the finest quality in their superior designs. 

Collaborations of the brand include such with French graffiti artist Steph Cop who has designed Aro – an iconic figure symbolizing Cop’s character that has evolved over the years and has undergone various transformations; Aro is a cult figure in the French Urban Vinyl scene. 

On the other hand world renown artist Frank Kozik has collaborated on two K.Olin Tribu pieces – the Potammus Anarchy, a little hippo which takes on another dimension, a piece which will delight connoisseurs of Frank Kozik as well as all those who love beautiful objects.  And the Ludwig Van Bust, which came in a super-limited edition of only 12 pieces, a truly iconic piece in my opinion, both for the brand and for Kozik.   While Ron English tops off the collection with his iconic McSupersized figure…

Undoubtedly K.Olin Tribu takes pride in the knowledge, the craft, as well as the luxurious porcelain material.  K.Olin constantly strives for the best collaborations as they continue to expand their range of porcelain objects for collectors and hope to introduce new generations to the charm, prestige, and luxury of fine French craftsmanship. 

And now, the big, rhetorical question: To PLAY or to disPLAY?
