Artist and designer Takashi Murakami introduce a selection of floral phone cases that take on his signature design elements. The range of phone cases is specifically developed for the iPhone XS, XS Max, and the XR. It highlights his signature smiling cartoon floral character -- the series features two different designs.
The first is a silicone phone case, spotlighting the cartoon flower in a larger form on top of a black base. The second iteration is a hard shell construction that is adorned in a psychedelic collage that features the vibrant emblem. It also closely represents some of his artwork -- this iteration is offered in three colorway options of original, red, or blue. The phone cases are now available for purchase in Japanese store locations.
