We don’t know how they do it but the fine folks at MyPlasticHeart have got hold of a few “PupCup” by the one and only Yoshitomo Nara! PupCup’s are super hard to get hold of let alone at retail price. The charming PupCup whirls, twirls and spins about to the delight of all it passes. Combining the iconic images of Yoshitomo Nara’s Lonesome Puppy (Dog From Your Childhood) and The Cup Kids, the PupCup head and body rotate in opposites directions creating a remarkable kinetic object.
