Cutting through the mundane with revitalising art may not be a new concept, but the latest TUD collaborations are sure to reignite your imagination with some boldness.
Seemingly trekking through the deepest corners of your childhood memories, the Dubai-based brand collaborates with the renowned adolescent-favourite Chupa Chups, in its latest drop.
With two different colourways, The Ugly Duck sets out to unravel the adult constraints that hold captive your youthful dreams and curiosity. In a creamy deep lavender and a bright playful orange, the two options lean into the wonderland-like fun, yet also remain in the category of sought-after collectables that distort reality in raw and exposing ways.
For the entrenched art collectors and the new explorers, TUD continues to create eye-catching conversation starters that amplify any space.
Adding character to beige tranquil rooms and or elevating loud unapologetic ones, the defiant brand’s newest collaborations cut through the noise of uppity adulthood, to expose who were in the beginning—curious, fun beings who brazenly indulged in the sweet explorations.
TUD x Chupa Chups
Imagination was never supposed to be bound by the rough hardships of reality. It was supposed to be unleashed and explored until the last of its fruition.
Through the famous fun-loving philosophy of the childhood staple candy brand, the TUD x Chupa Chups collection guides us back to that vibrant dreamland by fusing renowned art with familiar crunchy wrapping.
Designed by the esteemed Salvador Dali, the ever-loved lollipops dawns the artist’s recognisable flower motifs on its wrapping paper, with added layers of mesmerising bubbly fun. Pulling from that joyous aura, TUD leaves us with two pleasure-striking pieces that embody a lively spirit with a sense of witty crispness.
With striking yellow lines melting throughout the body, the strawberry flavour model is called Eggstraw. Complete with its signature rounded eyes, bulging beak, and playful flat feet, the popular berry flavour items at the sweet delightful nostalgia of your youth.
Alternatively, the Duckberry flavour has a cool nightly feel to it. With monochromatic purple hues and minimalist wing embellishment, this serves as a better option for those venturing into vibrance but still want to give off a sense of subdued taste.
Guiding you back to your childlike exploration, the Tud X Chupa Chups pieces are void of any elements that speak to your adult-jaded mindset. Instead, it reaches past the noise and pushes your quiet inner child to return to vivid imagination.
