The Bear

Fun Makes Good design studio often takes inspiration from contemporary architectural forms and geometric shapes, combining a love of texture with graphic patterns and creative colour combinations to produce pieces that are instantly uplifting, playful and eye-catching.

The design for Pastel Pattern Patchwork Bear is a continuation of some of FMG’s previous work made for Sheffield Children’s Hospital with Artfelt. The Bear has a more subtle and gentle design than the previous work, with the grid of the ‘patchwork’ broken up with soft curved shapes that flow and move around the Bear, giving him a softness and warmth through delicate colour and pattern.
