Listen up, art-lovers. The Ugly Duck (TUD)’s latest collab is here, and it’s a playful protest against the blandification of mundane life. In an effort to “Unpack your childlike spirit,” the TUD x Chupa Chups collab is bringing the joy of childlike wonder into our adult homes. Dopamine decor, right this way (!!)
Dubai-based brand, TUD forms an intersection of art and interior design, bringing us somewhat unconventional yet undeniably playful designer art objects. Namely, The Ugly Duck.
The Ugly Duck (TUD) is a collectible art toy. It’s purpose, alongside unlocking our inner child’s joy, is to celebrate individuality, new technology, and art. The TUD collection includes objects created in collaboration with celebrities and brands from all over the world, including legendary boxer Mike Tyson, the King of Pop Michael Jackson, the Pantone Color Institute, American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and Los Angeles’ artist Punk Me Tender.
Taking inspiration from the essence of the beloved Chupa Chups brand, which is known for its lollipops and forever fun philosophy, this latest collection is a celebration of finding joy in everyday life.
Cue the nostalgia
Chupa Chups is an emblem of everyone’s childhood. Renowned for creating the first lollipop with a stick, the brand became a worldwide icon.
The TUD x Chupa Chups collaboration encapsulates the essence of two iconic flavours with Eggstraw (strawberry) and Duckberry (blueberry, grape, and bilberry). As well as encapsulating the iconic logo and Salvador Dali’s flower motif, these TUD art toys are designed to takes us back to our childhood by playing into the nostalgia of unwrapping a Chupa Chups lollipop.
The perfect addition to add a bit of playfulness into your home. *Adds to cart immediately*.
Both pieces are now available in limited quantities on the TUD website.
