Japanese design studio Nendo has teamed up with The Pok\u00e9mon Company to make series of homewares inspired by the characters from the series. <\/p>\n
Although not the first Pok\u00e9mon merch line by any stretch, the “Pok\u00e9mon Mosaic” collection is aimed at a more “grown-up” audience. Rather than literal depictions, the range takes an abstract view of the shapes and colours seen across the Pokemon characters. These are then placed together in a similar fashion to mosaic tiling. <\/p>\n
Fan favourites such as Pikachu, Charmander, and Bulbasaur have all been transformed into the geometric patterns and emblazoned across a 75-piece collection, which includes cushions, wall clocks, and bags, as well as tableware, such as glasses and plates.<\/p>\n
For Nendo, this project offered a chance to speak to the original generation of Pok\u00e9mon fans, and give them something that fits within their home now that they’re older. <\/p>\n
“While there are many products featuring Pokemon, the Nendo collection, in collaboration with The Pok\u00e9mon Company, was designed as daily household items for grown-ups, in the context that the first generation of Pokemon fans have now reached adulthood but remain fans at heart.”<\/p>\n
The Pokemon Mosaic collection is available to preview now on Nendo’s online shop, and will be for sale starting from September 1st.<\/p>\n
