Designer's Choice Pablo Teddy bear

In the Designer's Choice series, Steiff designers are paying homage to famous artwork. After channelling Frida Kahlo in 2019, the focus is now on Pablo Picasso. Steiff designer Katrin Sandmann is fascinated by the versatility of this painter and was inspired by his "Seated Harlequin" from the Blue Period. Just like the Harlequin, Pablo Teddy bear and Katrin little elephant feature a blue rhombus pattern. Melancholic, they seem, the Harlequins painted by the young Picasso. Their longing for a fulfilled artist‘s life is met by a stark reality, as experienced by the painter at the time.
