Kawaii! » Plushood • Pop. 5

Meet Vigo, Pinto, Dolores, Joske, and Miss Moss – the fleecy residents of Plushood created by Israeli duo Shlomi Schillinger (industrial design) and Tamar Moshkovitz (illustration/design). Each foot-tall (30cm) plush character (along with a kitty called James Richardson the 3rd) comes with their own hilariously inappropriate profile:
VIGO: Ever wonder what a ray of light looks like? What for the embodiment of good and honesty takes? Only the third floor ceiling separates Vigo from heaven. He is the son every mother would wish for her daughter. Vigo frees whales, swims with wolves, and teaches jellyfish not to sting. He heads the “Restore the house-bunny to the wild” committee and is the Hug a Tree Foundation’s CEO. He eats grass, drinks dew and wears recycled clothes. But the green image is spoiled by his addiction to smoking wheat sprout, and his hate for his roommate Pinto.
PINTO: Inhaling fumes makes him high, sucking batteries gives him bliss. Dazzling bats with strong lights, synchronized swimming in gutters and wallowing in industrial sewage excites him terribly. His side of the third floor apartment is an ecological disaster in the making. He advises chemical plants on “how to pollute and keep your hands clean”, rappelling instructor on industrial smokestacks and plays the electrical saw from 2-4 every morning. He can’t stand his “green” roommate – but the partnership has its advantages. There’s always someone to blame for the phosphorus color that shines on Miss Moss’s cats.
The rambunctious bunch can be purchased on the web and in multiple boutiques across the States, Europe and Tel Aviv (check the site for store locations).
