A whirlwind of smiling flowers and characters enveloped in kawaii aesthetics are synonymous with Takashi Murakami’s design language. Still, the Japanese artist continues to navigate the commercial world through collaborative designs. The latest, Takashi Murakami x Casetify: Mr. DOB, reflects an uncanny adaptability to ride the waves of the modern world.
In fact, such partnerships, far from diluting his artistic vision, amplify it. For example, the Louis Vuitton x Murakami collections put the artist’s unique Superflat design philosophy directly into the hands and onto the shoulders of fans. Now, more whimsical artworks are making the jump onto the tech devices of a global audience.
Murakami’s collaborative spirit remains as potent as ever, bringing signature characters like Mr. DOB and other inimitable motifs to phone cases, AirPod holders and other gadgets and gizmos. Indeed, Casetify is delighting Murakami fans with a wealth of accessories under its Co-Lab category.
So what does the Takashi Murakami x Casetify: Mr. DOB collection offer? Well, items like blind boxes and phone charms pretty much sold out the moment they launched. However, you can still get your hands on phone cases for a wide variety of Apple, Google and Samsung models. There are even multiple options for colour and type (Clear, Mirror, Impact, etc.).
Other equally exciting Takashi Murakami x Casetify: Mr. DOB accessories include watch bands depicting Mr. DOB and smiling flowers. Laptop and tablet sleeves are also still available, giving you the perfect opportunity to dress your favourite tech devices in Murakami’s eye-catching motifs.
