Plushies and Acarids

Second-hand plush and polyester thread

2016

Collaboration with Emmaüs 54

This project emerged from a desire to communicate around the recycling potential of second-hand lint that we decided to transform into creatures with the appearance of bacteria.
 

Inspired by bacteria and mites, the new soft toys created are a hybrid between strange and sympathetic creatures, they are made by the combination, and the repetition of elements belonging to soft toys collected by the association.
By playing on a very assumed aesthetic of bacteria and creating new labels, these objects attract the curiosity of buyers, making their mistrust of hygiene becomes less taboo and therefore less frightening.
