Meet Blobb, the Mexico City Based Brand Designing Miniature Sculptures for the Body | Studio Tour

Hypebae chats with founder Sofia Elias about anti-function, childhood nostalgia and chairs designed to make you fall off them. Tucked away in Mexico-City’s Roma Norte district resides an unconventional yet, utopic brand dubbed Blobb. At the helm is Sofia Elias – who’s childlike curiosity of the world oozes into her creations from her rings to her infamous Pofi chair. The designer honed her craft at architecture school where she learned about material design and how to create and break function. “Blobb for me is an experimental brand,” Elias tells us, “I don’t know anything about jewelry in reality. I consider it miniature sculpture for your body.” She began Blobb as a passion project and has since gone on to collaborate with the likes of Mowalola, SVRN and Kiko Kostadinov. Her collaborative spirit and colorful collections are every every bit a celebration of craft as they are a dopamine hit. Worn by the likes of Dua Lipa and North West, Blobb rings are each handmade, with no molds – making each piece entirely unique with names, from “Prickly Pear,” to “Chicken Pox.” Video Editor: Daniel Square CONNECT WITH HYPEBAE: Web: https://hypebae.com/2023/6/blobb-mexico-city-jewelry-brand-sofia-elias-interview Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hypebae/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/hypebae Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hypebae/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/hypebae/
