About this Platform

Lunartik in a Cup of Tea is a designer toy series created by British artist Matt JOnes (aka Lunartik). These collectible vinyl figures feature a stylized character sitting inside a teacup, blending a whimsical and minimalist design with a playful tea-themed concept. The original Lunartik in a Cup of Tea figure is a small, round-headed character with a simple face, often depicted with a tea bag tag hanging from the cup. The series includes Mini-Teas (smaller versions with various colors and flavors) and special edition teas, featuring collaborations, custom designs, and exclusive releases. The custom tea tour was a touring show with exhibitions at Forbidden Planet London, Outland Gallery Amsterdam, sixxa store Vienna, Fat Buddah Glasgow, Richard Goodall Gallery Manchester, Iksentrik Bath and the final exhibition/auction at Kidrobot London!
