Doggy Radio

A mischievous, wide-eyed dog figure rendered in Nara's signature cartoon aesthetic serves as the playful centerpiece of this functional stereo system, merging fine art with everyday utility. True to the Japanese artist's recurring themes of childhood innocence and subtle defiance, the hand-assembled polymer and fiberglass sculpture doubles as a fully operational FM radio and Bluetooth speaker. The work blurs the boundaries between collectible object and consumer product, arriving complete with accessories and original packaging that further complicate its identity as both artwork and appliance.
