Jumbo’s Chicly Cartoonish Creature Comforts is a Testament to the Digital Sphere
“Our physical worlds have gotten smaller, but the digital one has ballooned.” So states Jumbo founders Justin Donnelly and Monling Lee. Not only is their chicly cartoonish Creature Comforts a testament to the digital universe but it was also launched at Sight Unseen’s Offsite Online, the annual furniture show that this year, for the first time, was presented virtually. The five-piece collection presents a cast of characters: Hero, a curvy armchair in emerald-green spun aluminum; Sport, a neon-yellow neoprene sofa inspired by tennis balls; Hung, a mirror with a polished-aluminum surface that drapes against the wall à la toilet paper (nodding to the TP-sparse early days of COVID-19); and the Mop pendant fixture, replete with a mane of silicone tubes befitting its name.
