WOODBEES – Lunabee x Pepe Hiller Collab (WIP’s)

WOODBEES – Lunabee x Pepe Hiller Collab (First Release)

i’m very happy to announce my recent collaboration between myself and the very talentd UK artist Lunabee. The hand carved wooden bees, aptly names WOODBEES, were created by myself here in Switzerland out of maple & walnut wood and then shipped over to her to paint up in the lovely Lunabee style. There are 10 bees in total – 9 smaller worker bees (approx 2.5 inches in length) and one large Queen bee (approx 3.5″). The worker bees will be up for $99 each and the Queen for $149.

These are the only bees that are being made – there will be no future series, it’s a one off collaboration and so this is the only chance to grab one of these wooden delights.

Daisy, Totem, Noctus, Dolly and Harley

The photos of the other bees will be released next Monday. In case you can’t wait to see more, you can see some work in progress pictures on flickr.

BOOSO – 7 inch & 4 inch Fir Wood Toys by Pepe Hiller

The BOOSO’s love to romp around and practice territorial fights with each other. You won’t guess but the BOOSO’s are a very artistic bunch of bucks! Their huge horns are pretty strong but from times to times sadly they also get tangled up into trees. Hopefully a MEGA BOOSO is in sight to help this unlucky fellow then out of this very precarious position! Now the huge MEGA BOOSO’s are the bigger brothers of the BOOSO’s! They always keep an eye on the playing little BOOSO’s while eating tons of yummy oak leaves! :]

RELEASE – Saturday, November 19th
(Central European Time CET – 19:00) 

The 7″ & 4″ BOOSO’s are handcrafted by Pepe out of fir wood. Each character is unique in its shape and wood texture so you will catch here a true one of a kind figure.

All MEGA BOOSO’s and BOOSO’s

• are crafted out of Swiss fir wood
• have a natural beewax finish
• have an iron-branding signature on backside
• are are individually embossed with series numbers

ARBOROBOTS – Ramble & Roam Release Wave 2

The second wave of walnut and maple Rample and Roams consists of the final 5 Roams of an Edition of 10 and 5 one-eyed Rambles with medi-kit accessory (wave one had 2 eyes and a camera accessory and was also limited to 5).

Ramble and Roam come as a set. Ramble is 5.5 inches tall, Roam is 2.25 inches tall. On sale tomorrow, newsletter goes out today! Ramble and Roam are a collaboration with the London based artist Cris Rose - www.crisrose.co.uk

Ramble is the larger character, a robot grown from wood that feels he is missing something in his big hollow tummy. Coming in single and two-eyed variants, he has thoughts on what he might desire and looks to seek them out. Roam is the smaller chap, keen to help out and particularly good at finding lost things. With one big brass eye, he holds his find aloft and shuffles along as quickly as he can manage.

Release July 18th (sold out!)

Designed in London, hand crafted in Zurich, Arborobots are the result of a colaboration by Cris Rose and Pepe Hiller – solid wooden bots that are happy to help.

Made from Walnut, Maple and Brass, these chaps are very limited.

Coming in single and two-eyed variants, he has thoughts on what he might desire and looks to seek them out. Roam is the smaller chap, keen to help out and particularly good at finding lost things. With one big brass eye, he holds his find aloft and shuffles along as quickly as he can manage.
