The Bear

Deven Bhurke’s design for Snoobear takes inspiration from the long-standing history of the World Snooker Championship, which has been played in Sheffield since 1977. The design symbolises the prestigious tournament held in Sheffield with Snoobear standing proudly, transformed into a snooker table complete with a set of snooker balls, cue and triangle.
