A$AP Rocky launches a new design studio Hommemade with the introduction of the Shroom Cactus which is made with the help of Italian design studio Gufram -- this was unveiled during Design Miami. This marks the first time that the artist is breaching into the realm of homeware as this is the first piece of many to launch. A$AP Rocky speaks about the new launch, stating that "This is the first collaboration from my Hommemade decor studio and since I've always advocated for mushrooms it was only right that we made a cactus with them [Gufram]."
The Shroom Cactus is a green cactus that measures out to be four feet tall and is detailed with hand-painted mushrooms that are attached to the bottom, which is "luxury" and "playfully innovative" as noted by the artist.
