Kidrobot x Devilrobots Mochi

MoMA Design Stores has just launched their newest Destination: Japan, a MoMA-exclusive product collection highlighting lifestyle products usually found only in Japan. Products from both established and emerging Japanese designers have been selected across a range of categories including home accessories, jewelry and personal accessories, and children’s products. Many of the products are MoMA-exclusive in the United States and the product collection will be available for a limited time only.

“Mochi” is a new character developed in collaboration with Devilrobots and Kidrobot which serves as a mascot for Destination: Japan. Mochi is a nod to the diverse menagerie of kawaii (cute) characters that represent brands in Japan and serve as guides to everyday activities. The limited edition collectible toy is available in four colors and available online now.
