FriendsWithYou Build an Interactive Fun House

Beyond Toys

The Miami art team of Sam Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III, that otherwise goes by the name FriendsWithYou, have mashed it up yet again with STRANGEco.

You may be familiar with the FriendsWithYou toys that STRANGEco has produced in the past, such as the TTTs, Wish Come True series and Malfi. This time the results of their cold chillin’ won’t be in the form of an object but rather a “commissioned lounge space for the SCOPE Art Fair at Art Basel Miami Wednesday, December 3rd - Sunday, December 7th.”

The piece is entitled “Fun House” and is a interactive exhibit that is suitable for young and old alike. The centerpiece will be a “giant anthropomorphic bounce house”. If I was anywhere in the Miami area, you know I’d soooo be there. Also there will be oodles of “interactive seating structures and custom furniture – a “village of mystical counterparts.” The theme of the installation? Why the characters from the Wish Come True series of course? Yeah, these FriendsWithYou items will totally be your buddies.
