JJJJound Transforms Its Packaging Into Artisan Lamps Crafted by Gyuhan Lee
JJJJound's latest collaboration departs from its fashion-focused projects to present a first-of-its-kind JJJJound lamp crafted by Korean artistGyuhuan Leeusing the label's packaging materials. Aiming to maximize the role of packaging materials beyond their usual function, the design's resourceful approach explores the intersection of branding, consumer culture, and centuries-spanning handicraft. Drawing from the grid proportions of minimalist architecture, the lamps boast a square shape and are offered in a short and a tall edition. When turned off, the lamps resemble mundane cardboard packages, but when turned on, a warm, soft glow transforms the lantern into a refined piece of collectible homeware. Lee, known for his refined pieces made from upcycled paper materials, utilized JJJJound's paper bags and box tape for the project. With his skills rooted in traditional Eastern craftsmanship, the artist layered JJJJound's materials with Korean Hanji paper, a historic textile applied to heritage interiors. The final result is a synthesis of contemporary mass-produced components and traditional craftsmanship, much in line with JJJJound's design practice, which often involves subtle, quality-focused updates to existing designs. In previous projects, Lee has utilized everything fromMcDonald'sHappy Meal bags,Nikeshoe boxes, andHermèsPlein Air blotting papers to create unique furniture pieces and lighting designs. His work represents a growing movement in design that adapts recognizable found and upcycled materials as components for new, imaginative objects. The JJJJound x Gyuhuan Leee lamps are set to drop June 5 at 12 PM EST.

Picture: Supplied Amanda Nakad, the marketing director of menu and brand for McDonald's Australia, said: 'We're all about connecting our fans to culture, and these squishable plushies are all the rage right now so we're bringing the search for Squishmallows to Australia. 'This limited-time Happy Meal brings a taste of the viral toy sensation to Macca's, with the first McDonald's Squishmallows Squad. Whether you're joining the hunt to collect them all or just looking for a dose of happiness, there's a Squishmallow for every kind of fan with this new Happy Meal.' Meanwhile, Gerhard Runken, the executive vice president of brand and marketing for the company that makes Squishmallows, said: 'Our first McDonald's Happy Meal collaboration received such a massive global response that we're bringing it to Australia for the very first time. 'We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our fans than with a Happy Meal featuring character favourites with unique, never-before-seen happy expressions and the debut of our newest Squishmallow Squad member Halley, making the search exciting as ever for fans worldwide.' Halley is only available in Australia and New Zealand.

The 'kidult' trend — items designed for kids but popular with all ages — has taken off in recent months. Footage has shown Aussies lining up at 3am for Labubu, a furry plushie featuring a bizarre grin and sharp teeth. The item has become the ultimate status-boosting item after soaring to popularity with huge celebrities such as Rihanna and Dua Lipa. Designed by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, the product is sold by Chinese toy company Pop Mart following a collaboration with Lung on his story series book The Monsters, released in 2015. A similar item — Jellycats — has also been a hit item with all ages, with David Jones telling 'We've seen strong demand for the brand and an increase in sales in not only their iconic bunny which they are best known for but also more niche/unique styles,' a David Jones spokesperson told 'There has also been a noticeable shift in the consumer who is buying this product, traditionally bought for children we have seen demand from Gen Z thanks to social media driving the trend among this group.'

On Thursday, Gov. Dan McKee declared March as 'March for Meals Month' to highlight MOWRI's mission of meeting the nutritional and social needs of older adults. The event took place at the Coventry Resource and Senior Center, one of MOWRI's Home-Delivered Meal Program partner sites. According to MOWRI President and Board Chair Christina Pitney, the campaign brings together clients, elected officials, business leaders, community members, donors, and volunteers to showcase the nonprofit's impact. MOWRI Executive Director Meghan Grady emphasized that every weekday, the organization's drivers deliver meals, conduct safety checks, and provide an important opportunity for socialization across all 39 cities and towns in the state. 'These are not just numbers. These are our neighbors. These are our friends,' Grady said.
