One of my senior courses, Metaproject 03, saw the partnership with AREAWARE, a design manufacturer based in Brooklyn, New York, who wished to expand their reach into the toy market. They challenged us all to come up with production ready toy concept designs that continued their trend of creating toys that have universal appeal.
The story behind the Shapuzi’s diversity is that every Shapuzi wants to be one-of-a-kind, and so they mold their head into a shape that makes them different from each other. They can function as a shaped stamp and a photo/paper holder.
