The Guest by Devilrobots Sculpture Small Model Numbered Edition

DESCRIPTION

This piece is renowned designers Devilrobots' contribution to The Guest series by Lladró Atelier, the brand's ideas lab, which invites leading artists from around the world to customise this unique character. The series includes collaborations by Paul Smith, Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, Rolito and Jaime Hayon, who created the initiative.

Marshmallow-y in appearance, The Guest by Devilrobots is a celebration of child-like innocence. The design collaborative consists of 5 men and are well known for their symbolic graphics, character designs, web designs, toys, clothing and more. Best known for their character, To-Fu Oyako, their character design is instantly recognisable.

The piece they created looks child-like, with a pink stripped pyjama pants and a white and pastel coloured hoodie. Polka dots is also used to a cute effect - creating an illusion that the 3 dots on the face of The Guest are part of his persona. But don't take the cute-as-a-button design at face value, The Guest they created is completely black underneath, showing that although The Guest presents itself as a certain persona, we never know what lies beneath. Devilrobots' moto to a T - “cute, but toxic“.
