Fragment Design Stieff Plush Teddy Bear Rug.


Fragment design has collaborated with venerable teddy bear company "Stieff" to produce a "Teddy Bear Rug".  Expectations are as subverted as you might expect, this is a skinned alive teddy bear.  On the one hand, it's a clever piece.  Fur is a polarising issue, and a bearskin rug made from a teddy bear is the only sort of skin many could allow themselves near.

On the other hand, Fragment's bolt, and Stieff's button may legitimise this piece, but they dont make it less sad.  The eyes look really unhappy, and the idea of skinning a teddy bear is pretty horrible.

The special piece is available from Stieff and Dover Street Market.
