I collect therefore I am
In 2006 Jens Kajus, Partner and Creative Director in e-Types was invited along with 25 Danish designers, artists and celebrities to redesign the cult collector's toy,
Dunny. The resulting design and unique typeface is inspired by Dunny's organic form combined with e-Types' characteristic, almost malicious graphic style.
Jens Kajus comments;
"Dunny is an extremely cool media to work with. Dunny is somewhere in the crossroads between the commercial world and art, between underground and consumer culture. As such it has been challenging to work with and at the same time a great privilege. Possibilities are endless."
Dunny is an American designer toy produced by legendary designer Kidrobot. Dunny is designed as a blank 3D canvas to be interpreted by different artists and
designers. Since Dunny saw the light of day in 2001, various artists spanning from graffiti to fashion have reinterpreted it. Notable personalities include Tristan Eaton, Marc Jacobs, Dalek and
Karl Lagerfeld.
The e-Types Dunny was exhibited and sold at Gallery Asbæk, Copenhagen. All proceeds are donated to achieving the United Nations' 2015 Millennium Development
Goals.
