1. A dedicated room with clear display shelves
RM, rapper and leader of Korean boy band BTS, is known to be a fervent fan of collecting figurines—most notably of Kaws, Bearbricks and Kakao Friends’ Ryan. In his personal studio, the enthusiastic collector specially set aside a room to display his extensive collection.
The rapper chose acrylic display cabinets to house most of his figurines. The clear shelves are durable and hard-wearing, and the transparency of the cabinet allows one to easily view the figurines at all angles. With the design of the cabinets, each individual shelf height has the capacity to accommodate the different heights of the figurines. Notably, the sculptures are also kept away from direct sunlight as they are stored in clear displays.
A group of larger Bearbrick figurines that are unable to fit into the shelves is gathered under a wall display of treasured skateboards, alongside a bike and other collectibles by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami.
