dgph's inflatable bubble moles
from Argentina's DGPH comes a brand-new "toy", which encompasses both their unique sense of design and their cheery-pop sensibilities (IMHO): the inflatable Bubble Moles!
standing at 12"-ers tall (fully-blown of coz) and screenprinted in 4 colors
(with each color limited to 100 units each), the Bubble Moles will be
available at DGPH.com.ar (and some other stores, TBC) for an April-drop!
*details and images after the jump*
also look out for the uber-limited (only 50 pcs) White/Blank Moles; produced specifically for painting and customizing, for an eventual around-the-globe exhibition that DGPH will be planning this year! ... there might even be "special editions" for "friends", with different screenprinted-designs - so keep on a watch-out, yeh? *neato*
ibugged asked Diego (of DGPH) what was
the idea+inspiration behind the Bubble Mole,
and this is what he had to share:
"The idea was mostly, of making a toy by ourselves, of our own, without any other corporation in the middle. And also of wanting to have something different. There are a lot of cool and amazing toys available now, but also too many to decide which one we should buy! (we think that the toys market will saturate in a pretty short time soon, so we were looking for other options). This is something different. And if u take care of him, u can have him inflated for a very long time"
"The inspiration came from a party where we had wanted to buy some inflatable ducks, to try out in a swimming pool, to cover the pool with some inflatable ducks. So the question was pretty obvious at that time... "what if those ducks were our own moles, floating in the water?"
*coolness*
(cheers for da lurve, Diego!)
