Description : The Dot Yellow Kokeshi pays homage to Yayoi Kusama, one of the most influential contemporary artists of our time, known for her polka-dot motifs and avant-garde creativity. Dressed in a striking yellow dress adorned with Kusama’s signature dots, this Kokeshi doll captures the playful yet visionary essence of the artist.

Produced exclusively by Lucie Kaas in collaboration with Becky Kemp, this edition was strictly limited to a single run of 1000 pieces, each hand-painted, numbered, and finished with protective varnish. The design bridges Japanese tradition with Scandinavian minimalism, celebrating both cultural heritage and modern design.

Originally rooted in northern Japan, Kokeshi dolls are characterized by their simple cylindrical body and oversized head. The Lucie Kaas series reimagines these forms as tributes to icons of art and design.

A collector’s item, the Yayoi Kusama Dot Yellow Kokeshi is a timeless piece that embodies both art history and contemporary design.
