Contemporary art meets everyday tech once again as Takashi Murakami and CASETiFY unveil their newest partnership, FLOWERS BLOOM, the third and final chapter of their ongoing collaboration. The launch celebrates Murakami’s world-famous smiley FLOWERS motif — a symbol of joy and optimism — reimagined as collectible, highly designed tech accessories and travel gear that bring art into the palm of your hand.
A Joyful Celebration of Color and Craft
The new Takashi Murakami x CASETiFY FLOWERS BLOOM Collection spans an impressive lineup of phone cases, wireless chargers, AirPods cases, and travel accessories. From the signature FLOWERS Ripple Phone Case Blind Box to the artful FLOWERS Carry-On Suitcase, every piece radiates the bright, mischievous charm of Murakami’s universally adored flowers.
The Third Chapter: FLOWERS BLOOM
Following the success of their “MR. DOB” and “KAIKAI & KIKI” collaborations, this third installment feels like the culmination of a multi-year, cross-disciplinary partnership. The collection merges fine art, fashion, and functionality, pushing CASETiFY’s signature designs into the realm of collectible design.
Key highlights include:
- FLOWERS Ripple Phone Case Blind Box: Each case arrives as a surprise — fans may receive a rare variant such as the shimmering 18K Gold Case or the rainbow-colored Multi-Flowers Camera Ring Edition.
- FLOWERS Carry-On Suitcase: The ultimate travel piece featuring Murakami’s motif in ripple texture across five colorways — Blue, Black, Red, Pink, and Rainbow.
- FLOWERS Charm Keychains and Wireless Chargers echo the playful spectrum of the artist’s palette, designed to turn tech accessories into wearable happiness.
- The FLOWERIAN Dangler Figures, miniaturized sculptures born from Murakami’s expanding artistic world, are also available in Blind Box sets, bridging toy culture and high design.
FLOWERIAN Universe: Art Meets Collectibility
As Murakami continues to merge traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary cultural symbols, this collection extends beyond decoration. It taps into collectible design culture and the growing appeal of gamified luxury, where the thrill of the unknown drives engagement.
Each blind box offers fans and collectors an element of surprise, mirroring the popularity of art toy blind boxes in Japan. FLOWERS BLOOM captures the unpredictability and joy of discovery, turning each unboxing into an artistic event, CASETiFY said in its release.
A Blend of Art, Tech, and Everyday Expression
From gallery walls to smartphones, Murakami’s FLOWERS transcend platforms. CASETiFY and Murakami’s partnership underscores how fine art and commercial design can coexist beautifully — translating emotion and meaning into functional forms.
Murakami’s FLOWERS have always represented happiness, nostalgia, and renewal, the brand stated. In this collaboration, they remind users that joy can exist in small everyday moments — even through the devices we use daily.
The FLOWERS Carry-On Suitcase demonstrates this ethos: its contoured texture mimics rippling petals, turning travel gear into statement art. Meanwhile, the introduction of wireless chargers and phone charms further integrates art into digital life at every scale.
Art You Can Hold: Murakami’s Superflat Philosophy
Murakami’s “Superflat” style — characterized by bold colors and flattened compositions merging high and low culture — is visible in every product in the FLOWERS BLOOM collection. By translating art into functional form, Murakami reaffirms his belief that beauty and utility can coexist.
This collaboration also draws on Japanese gold leaf craftsmanship, reflected in the 18K gold phone case and other metallic detailing throughout the range — connecting traditional artisanal techniques with tech-age luxury.
Global Launch and Collector Events
To celebrate the launch, CASETiFY is hosting pop-up exhibitions across major global cities. A flagship showcase at the CASETiFY Dosan Store in Seoul serves as the finale for this collaboration series, spotlighting rare editions and live art displays. Fans will also experience an installation at 65 Spring Street, New York, opening on October 25, 2025, to mark Murakami’s influence on contemporary art’s intersection with tech.
