Origin of Design
Labubu was born from Kasing Lung’s childhood imagination and love of fables. Influenced by folklore creatures, misunderstood monsters, and traditional European illustration styles, Lung envisioned a world where beings like Labubu weren’t villains—but outcasts with depth, curiosity, and emotion.

Artistic Process

1. Sketchbook to Sculpture: Every Labubu design begins as a pencil sketch in Lung’s notebook. The character's proportions—large head, small body, exaggerated teeth—are meant to evoke both humor and unease.

2. Storytelling Through Sculpt: Once a sketch is chosen, a sculptor brings it into 3D using clay or digital modeling. Each version, such as “Forest Labubu,” “Astronaut Labubu,” or “Exciting Macaron Labubu,” tells a mini-story without words.

1. Color, Texture, and Symbolism: The use of soft pastels, glossy vinyl, or fuzzy plush adds contrast to Labubu’s sharp grin. Even its nine teeth have symbolic meaning—one for each “emotion” Lung wants to represent: joy, fear, anger, sadness, curiosity, love, loneliness, rebellion, and hope.

Though often collected or displayed, Labubu dolls have found unexpected roles in everyday life and artistic expression:
