Renowned American designer Sean Wotherspoon has debuted a corduroy bearbrick, the world's newest take on the iconic collectible bear figure. This bearbrick was created in collaboration between Wotherspoon and fashion brand 'atmos Tokyo.' The figurine is named the 'BE@RBRICK atmos X Sean Wotherspoon' and it is available on atmos's website in a public raffle in two different styles, wood, and corduroy.
The BE@RBRICK features a patchwork design with colors and themes that give the collectible a 70s feel. The colors used are a hue of brown and yellow. The atmos logo on the front of the bear has had the 'O' replaced with Wotherspoon's iconic signature, which is the initials SW placed inside of a peace sign. This same signature logo appears on the back of the bear.
