concept
Based around the idea of cartoon death and how characters within these worlds live on even after being completely flattened. The shapes of the accessories are inspired by the unloved objects that can be seen forgotten along the side of the road: run-over packaging, crushed lamp posts, sad bin bags or road kill. These are all referenced in the shapes as if they were dipped in "comical luxury”.
