These pieces, blending pop culture, contemporary design, and deep emotional reflection, are now available in our online store.
KAWS BFF Black (2017)
The BFF Black is a vinyl sculpture embodying KAWS’s iconic character, inspired by Sesame Street’s Elmo. With its signature “X” eyes and a posture that conveys both familiarity and alienation, the BFF reflects on friendship and solitude in modern society. Measuring 34.3 x 12.7 x 8.9 cm, this unnumbered edition is signed by the artist on the base of the feet, making it a highly valuable collectible piece.
KAWS HOLIDAY Singapore (2021)
The HOLIDAY Singapore is a monumental piece that debuted in Singapore in 2021. This art toy portrays the famous COMPANION character in a reclining position, embracing a miniature version of itself. The 42-meter-long sculpture was exhibited at The Float @ Marina Bay, adding a unique artistic element to the city’s skyline. The limited edition, available in brown, gray, and black, captures the essence of this global project aimed at fostering public appreciation of contemporary art.
KAWS Kachamukku (2022)
The Kachamukku is a vinyl figure born from KAWS’s collaboration with the Japanese television program Hirake! Ponkikki. This art toy merges the characters Gachapin and Mukku, symmetrically dividing their features along the figure. With its bone-shaped ears and “X” eyes, signature elements of KAWS’s style, the Kachamukku represents a fascinating fusion of Japanese pop culture and the artist’s distinctive visual language. Measuring 12.6 x 8 x 6 inches, it is a unique and highly sought-after collectible.
KAWS BFF Blue (2017)
The BFF Blue is a sculpture that explores themes of friendship and isolation through its iconic design. The blue color, symbolizing calmness and contemplation, contrasts with the “X” eyes, which suggest a sense of emotional detachment. The soft-textured fur adds warmth to the character, making it both inviting and enigmatic. Inspired by Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster, this piece reflects on the complexity of human relationships and emotions.
