Kiss och Bajs
2005.11.16
Stéphane, did you know what Kiss means in Swedish? Pee. So, Pee, and his fellow Poo (Bajs) are invading Sweden’s kids bedrooms big time. Nothing disgusting with that though: these two former rejects are back from the restroom in the form of super cuddly lovable plush, thanks to designer Emma Megitt.
Presented at FutureDesignDays Expo last year, the toys meet success in Scandinavia and start to be sold in USA and Japan. More info on the dedicated website, where it’s possible to buy the set of plush for a mere € 32 ($ 38). The perfect gift for these holidays. There’s even some merchandising. Panties. Subtle. (Still cute.)

hahah i’m from the united states though. :(:(:( i wish i was from iceland.
anyway speaking of iceland, while we’re on the topic. if you go to http://www.icelandreview.com they have an article today about an icelandic illustrator being honoured by the New York Times. the book is even available on amazon.com, and i just bought it. you could put it under your literature section. the animation is fantastic, it’s simple yet magnificent, completely characteristic of iceland.
i just rechecked the website, it says she won the “best illustrated children’s book”
you guys should check it out!! the more people that buy this book, the more likely it’ll be for icelandic illustrator’s to come over to the mainstream :)
