This gallery features cuddly cute creativity from Miami-based art collaborative [FriendsWithYou](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friendsies), which I just want to cwtch (a Welsh cuddle).

FriendsWithYou makes these adorable [Fun Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-open-house-miami) that make me want to pretend I am six years old so I can dive straight in--without taking my shoes off first. Oh yeah, rock and roll!

This latest lounge and [interactive exhibition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble) from FriendsWithYou was at the SCOPE Miami lounge. I have (almost) never wanted to bounce with something so badly!
