HOME TAKEOVER: Having teased a limited-edition display cabinet with a Labubu sitting inside at Complexcon Hong Kong last month, the Switzerland-based modular furniture-maker USM on Tuesday unveiled two made-to-order cabinets adorned with Kasing Lung’s illustrations of Labubu and her friends from the Monsters series at Salone del Mobile.Milano.
Exclusive to Lane Crawford, the collaboration between USM, Lung and the Hong Kong-based art toy brand How2work centers around Labubu Bob. As its name suggests, the beloved character that reached global fame last year now comes with a fresh haircut.
