Multi-Sensory Experiences with exclusive BE@RBRICK collections
Dedicated to becoming the global landmark for contemporary art and culture, Artelli has opened its two-storey, over 10,000 sq.ft. art space in Central, Hong Kong. Marking the brand’s third launch after Macau and Taiwan, this space brings together lifestyle and art, as well as exclusive brand crossovers and more. Breaking the boundaries of conventional art exhibition formats, BE@RBRICK fans and art lovers will find themselves immersed in a newfound multi-sensory botanical garden, with a fabricated aroma echoing nature and the sound of music wafting through the atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy an all-encompassing journey and end it with a cup of artisanal coffee to relive the inspirations drawn from the masterpieces.
To celebrate the opening of Artelli Hong Kong and the first international appearance of BE@RBRICK WORLD WIDE TOUR 3, the exhibition delights the city with seven BE@RBRICK commemorative items, in collaboration with ELLY (J SOUL BROTHERS III from EXILE TRIBE／CrazyBoy), The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Chiaki, MASTERMIND WORLD, Sanrio Company, Ltd., Toei Company, LTD. and Tezuka Productions Co., Ltd., with the latter six launched for the first time.
