Iconic UK brand MATHMOS have teamed up with graphic art duo TADO to create Chuppi – the perfect interactive child’s nightlight AND collectable art toy! Standing at around 4″ tall, the LED colour changing figure comes with reusable stickers for 18 different characters, giving both young and inexperienced customisers a perfect place to start. Chuppi can also be set on a single colour or allowed to cycle through the spectrum, opening up a whole world of possibilities for more advanced customisation- with his experience in LED lit toys, a twisted Plaseebo piece instantly springs to mind!
Priced at just £30 (40EU), Chuppi will be available from the Mathmos store from Monday, April 30th. Head over to the Tado blog for more information, and be sure to check out Spanky Stokes’ amazing interview with the duo on the project here…
“The main challenge was coming up with a fun little guy that offered something a little bit different to the customizable toy market. As such we wanted to try and make something that could be used either as it comes, or as a platform to be customized, with the added dimension of it being illuminated. The stickers we created also allow people to have some fun and get creative without having to break out the pens and paints! We worked really closely with MATHMOS to come up with the characters shape and pose, a true collaborative project in every sense of the world and we are delighted with the results.” -TADO, Chuppi press
