Anime-Inspired Creature Couches

CELLUTANE and Pokémon Partner for a 'Slowpoke Slowpoke' Sofa

— November 24, 2022 — Art & Design
CELLUTANE has partnered with Pokémon for a new ‘Slowpoke Slowpoke’ sofa inspired by the water/psychic-type creature from the series. The couch adopts Slowpoke’s pink coat and playful expression on the backrest, while plush ears and a tail sit on the backside of the bottom cushion. The covers can be removed for cleaning or customization, allowing them to be put in a washing machine for easy stain removal. CELLUTANE currently has other lifestyle products inspired by Gengar, Rowlet, Ditto, a Pokéball, and Snorlax.

The adorable couch is measured at 36 x 40 x 28 cm and weighs 8.75 kg. The ‘Snorlax Snorlax’ sofa is now available online at the CELLUTANE website for ¥28,400 JPY (approximately $204 USD).
