Takashi Murakami x CASETiFY: FLOWERS BLOOM
The renowned artist Takashi Murakami has once again partnered with CASETiFY to launch an exciting collection, the
'FLOWERS BLOOM'. This collaboration has been heralded as one of the most successful in CASETiFY's history, and the latest release promises to elevate the original excitement with new designs.
This special collection features limited edition products available exclusively at the pop-up stores in
Hong Kong and
Japan (specifically at the
CASETiFY STUDiO at Shibuya Parco, 5th floor). The previous release garnered immense popularity, laying the groundwork for expectations of this sequel collection.
Murakami's iconic motif, the
'flower', connects to traditional Japanese art's classical themes, such as
'Setsugekka' (snow, moon, flower). By reinterpreting this traditional style and merging it with contemporary art, he embodies his unique concept
'Superflat' through these creations. The gold accents incorporated into the collection reflect sophisticated Japanese art techniques, blending the elements of traditional aesthetics with modern culture.
One of the key items in this collection is the
'Flower Wave Silicon Case', which offers a playful experience in a blind box format. The contents are randomized, featuring colors such as pink, blue, red, and black, alongside rare
'Rainbow Cases' and
'Flower 18K Gold Plate Smartphone Cases'. This design allows fans to enjoy the thrill of surprise while immersing themselves in Murakami’s artistic vision and his iconic flower motif.
Additionally, collectors can look forward to the
'Flowerian Character Collectible Earphone Case', which combines practicality with a fun collectible aspect. This practical item enables users to infuse Murakami's iconic aesthetics into their daily lives, while the
magnetic wireless charger brings a colorful wave of design with five distinct shades, adding more flair to the collection.
The lineup also includes a vibrant
'Limited Edition Flower Smartphone Strap', featuring cheerful flower designs and soft-touch silicone beads, allowing users to enjoy their devices hands-free while adding a touch of brightness.
Moreover, an appealing offering for collectors is the
'Flower Character Smartphone Figure Blind Box'. Each blind box contains one
Flower Character that can be attached to smartphones or devices. Random colors such as rainbow, pink, blue, red, or black can be found within.
Furthermore, the flower motif, representing this collaboration, is making its way onto CASETiFY's travel suitcase line. Inspired by the
'Wave Silicon Case', the
Bounce Suitcase embodies Murakami's flower art through a special design that resembles ripples. This product is available in a carry-on size and comes in five color options, including a new shade of pink.
To celebrate the launch of this collection, CASETiFY is offering exclusive benefits for its members. Purchasers of the limited-edition special products will receive a
'Murakami x CASETiFY: FLOWERS BLOOM' promotional card, with one card per item purchased. These cards are available both online and in-store, featuring colors like black, blue, pink, and red, alongside special editions like rainbow and limited gold versions.
Around the globe, events will be held to celebrate both the launch of the
'Murakami x CASETiFY' collection and
'MURAKAMI WORLD'. In New York's
SoHo, a pop-up store showcasing the
'FLOWERS BLOOM' collection will be set up. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, key lifestyle and commercial areas like
Lee Gardens and
Hysan Place will be adorned with special decorations, creating a vibrant city atmosphere. In Japan, besides having
CASETiFY STUDiO Shibuya Parco host a special exhibition for this collection, both Hong Kong and Shibuya will offer limited print design items for purchase, presenting a unique opportunity to experience Murakami's and CASETiFY's worlds.
