BaxBear by OSO DESIGN HOUSE

By: JoyEngine

Jason Pultz of OSO Design House just got in touch with us. OSO is a Canadian based design studio nestled in the heart of beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. Since 2005, OSO owner and designer Michael Zhu has created 2 unique figurines. The first, a cute round bear named Bax Bear. The other, a maple leaf named Thee. To make these characters more life-like and active he gave them accessories like skis, snowboards and hockey sticks.

Bax Bear and Thee quickly became a 3-dimensional canvas for many well-known artists from around the world. Winson Ma of Brothersfree, Tim Tsui, TOUMART, Camilla d’Errico, Alice Chen, Kei Sawada, Jason Pultz, Wade Baker and Jason Prain joined the design team and together OSO created an excellent Bax Bear Series 1. To let everyone else in on the fun Michael Zhu created an 8″ Do-It-Yourself version of Bax. Seems like we’re gonna start seeing a lot more from OSO on the designer toy front. We hope so, cuz there first series is right on.
