A Unique Collaboration in the World of Art and Sports

In an exciting fusion of creativity, B's International, based in Tokyo, celebrates a new collaboration involving four distinct brands: Mid-Century MODERN, Styles, X-girl, and ROSE BUD. This partnership meshes seamlessly with Original Rose, a New York-based creative studio by Olivia Rose, and the legendary American sports brand Spalding, which is commemorating its 150th anniversary this year. Together, they unveil an exclusive product: the CERAMIC BASKETBALL PLANTER with BOX.

This unique planter combines the realms of art, sport, and lifestyle, capturing the essence of modern design while paying homage to the street culture that informs all four brands. The CERAMIC BASKETBALL PLANTER will be available in a limited edition at the INSTALLATION POP UP event, taking place from August 21 to 23, 2026, at the calif art gallery in Tokyo.

The Exclusive Product

The CERAMIC BASKETBALL PLANTER reflects a fresh interpretation of everyday icons through a plant design lens. Drawing inspiration from Spalding’s iconic basketballs, this planter is expertly crafted in Japan, embodying the quality and attention to detail that is synonymous with Japanese craftsmanship. The design serves not only as a planter but as a multifunctional art piece; it can also work as a vase or a toolbox, making it a versatile addition to any space.

Sporting logos from both Original Rose and Spalding on the front, and representations from Mid-Century MODERN, Styles, X-girl, and ROSE BUD on the back, each planter features colors inspired by these four creative brands.

Event Highlights

Limited to just 100 units, the planter comes in four colors: BLACK (Mid-Century MODERN), YELLOW (Styles), RED (X-girl), and BLUE (ROSE BUD), priced at 16,500 yen each. The first 60 buyers will receive a special plant selected by The Bulb Book, renowned for showcasing the beauty of plants across various lifestyles, from festivals to fashion. Given the limited quantities, these items will likely sell out quickly.

At the INSTALLATION POP UP event, the environment will be a thoughtfully curated blend of art and vintage decor, utilizing pieces from the adjacent furniture store, Mid-Century MODERN. Visitors will be immersed in an aesthetic space that integrates wall art made from discarded Spalding basketballs and Original Rose graphics, creating a beautiful dialogue between art and functionality.

Original Rose: Merging Art and Cultures

Founded by Olivia Rose, a New York native with a background in Landscape Architecture from Cornell University, Original Rose exemplifies the intersection of various cultures, from art to sports to plants. Olivia’s work consistently incorporates basketballs as not just a sports item but as vital symbols of urban culture. She transforms everyday materials into striking sculptural pieces, imbuing them with meaning and a narrative that resonates deeply with constituents of both the art world and street culture.
