King Power Mahanakhon will host the Be@rbrick World Wide Tour 3 from Oct 5-Nov 5, featuring the cult collectables at one of Bangkok’s most famous addresses.
Since its debut in 2001, the Medicom Bearbrick (or Be@rbrick), an iconic teddy bear-shaped figurine, has evolved from kitsch to highly acclaimed contemporary fashion statement, earning its place as one of the most coveted collectibles around the world. Highly limited, the figurine has a thriving cult following that includes Pharrell Williams, Ben Baller and Steve Aoki.
The event will showcase Bearbrick designs by top world creators who have used the bears as a canvas, also featuring the oversized 1000% Bearbrick scaled bears. At the exhibition, each visionary designer will infuse their creativity and craftsmanship into the collection.
With over 100 collaborators—including names like A Bathing Ape, Comme des Garcons, Highsnobiety, and Jackson Pollock Studio—an additional five Thai artists and companies will make an appearance.
If a Bearbrick catches your eye, you’ll also have the opportunity to take one home from the pop-up shop (more details will be disclosed soon on the website). There will also be Bearbrick-themed latte art and sweet treats from the Other Cafe, and you can get your hands on some unique souvenirs from King Power Mahanakhon x Bearbrick, such as penny presses, keychains, folding tote bags, t-shirts, tumblers, and more. Tickets are priced at THB500 each.
