It’s a strange world we live in now – global warming is becoming a more serious issue by day. For folks to truly grasp the consequences of our own actions, Mercedes-Benz has a new collaboration with local toy designer Minishi, a creative studio known for its novel toys and forward-thinking concepts.
They’ve come up with a limited edition EQS Collectible Kit, one that’s clearly inspired by the sleek but also environmentally-friendly design of the Mercedes-Benz EQS. Each kit has a sculpture of the EQS (only 65 units in total!) and there are also 12 specially-designed Artist Editions, with colourful splashes and uniquely imprinted designs.
The sculptures are made from gypsum, a non-toxic recyclable material while the kit’s packaging itself is made from bamboo – which is both recyclable and durable. Each kit also comes with a paint palette made from upcycled local trees where interestingly, the watercolour paints are made from extracts of blue pea flower, mango leaves, and yellow flame blossoms. It also includes a set of paintbrushes and an apron.
It’s a treasured kit you can bring home by joining the raffle here, where winners will be announced October 3.
