9" BOTOTOY | Jagnus Design Studio | STGCC 2014
Jagnus Design Studio's 9 inch Wooden BOTOTOY at the Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2014.
The figure is made entirely of wood and has seven points of articulation. Head, arms, legs and feet are all detachable and interchangeable.
Price: S$70
Available at the Hidden Fortress Booth, unit AA17
September 6-7 2014
THE NAME: Bototoy – The name is a mash up of the words: Toy Robot. The word play made it sound playful, street and Pinoy due to its closeness to the sound of the word “putotoy” (a common Tagalog/Filipino endearing term for penis). Since it’s only one of the few toys made and conceptualized in the Philippines, rooting the name locally was intentional since most toys from other countries gives one an idea about its origins.
DESIGNER: Arnold Austria - “Creativity knows no boundary” is a statement that holds true to Arnold Austria. Born to a family of artisan goldsmiths in Bulacan, He took up Architecture in University of Santo Tomas and has worked on several building projects in different scales most recently the Ronac Art Center. As Creative Director of Jagnus Design Studio, an architectural firm he co-founded with Sonny Sunga, he recognized the limiting side of his profession typically constrained by requirements imposed by clients, building laws and other factors in order to realize the final outcome.
ORIGIN: This unwillingness to be boxed in by rationalism prompted him to conceive objects such as toys, chairs, sculptures that serve purely his own personal pleasure. His designs characterize the modernist leanings of his firm’s architecture with clean lines, purity of form and exceptional craftsmanship as its hallmarks. His influences come from various unexpected places that left an impression on him be it an odd bottle design, comic books or just daily bits and pieces that others may even consider junk. With no one to answer to for his works, the architect says, “Their only function is to make one smile”.
INCEPTION: “Bototoy is a product of the architect’s childhood memories”. He never outgrew his penchant for Japanese robot cartoons and extensive collection of various imported toys. ”I used to draw robot characters when I was a kid and BOTOTOY is one of them, I even constructed one out of cardboard toothpaste boxes”, says the architect. His fondness for wooden toys and building blocks further incited this idea to produce BOTOTOY using real wood. The decision to finally make his own toy materialized when he collaborated with Detalle Furniture’s Mady Beldia, Architect and designer/producer of fine local furniture. Detalle chose the material and oversaw the production employing their craftsmanship in accordance with the architect’s specifications.
MATERIAL / SPECIFICATION: Bototoy is made of Gmelina Wood (Scientific name: Gmelina Arborea), also called “White Teak” or “Beechwood”. In the Philippines, Gmelina is commonly used for furniture, cabinetry, mouldings and wood sculptures, particularly for religious statues because it is fairly easy to carve. It’s the perfect material for custom wooden toys because it is lightweight, can be easily sanded and receives paint or varnish very well. This makes it an ideal canvas for artists who wish to personalize their toys. Gmelina’s beautiful grain and natural cream/yellowish brown color gives BOTOTOY its characteristic 100% wood look that is different from imported wood toys available in the market today.
VIBE: BOTOTOY’s local take of an imported concept made this genre of art more democratic since vinyl , with all its good qualities is more expensive to produce. The toy is easier to produce in wood here in the Philippines since Gmelina is a fast growing tree and is native to tropical countries.
BOTOTOY comes in 3 sizes, Small (9"), Medium (14") and Large (18"). With seven articulations and detachable/interchangeable parts, turning BOTOTOY into a custom art piece is an absolute joy for any artist or toy aficionado. The figure is fully customizable. Carve, paint, draw or stick anything to it and make it uniquely your own. "Do whatever you want with your BOTOTOY!";)

Crystal Coneheads | Jagnus Design Studio
Secret Fresh together with several Filipino creatives teams up to celebrate the Philippine launch of Crystal Head Vodka.
With our love of skulls, awesome vodka and bad-ass design, our studio presents "Crystal Coneheads" in six precious crystal colorways. The idea is derived from the legend of the ancient crystal skulls and Dan Akroyd's iconic movie “The Coneheads”. Made of molded resin, the design represents the aesthetic ideals that we celebrate such as simplicity of form, material honesty, absence of embellishment and a spirit of fun.
The Bottle
Aykroyd and Alexander wanted the opportunity to get closer to the myth of the 13 crystal heads. After more than two years in development, their moment finally arrived. When their glass depiction of a head was complete, Milan-based manufacturer Bruni Glass declared it to be a bottle of unsurpassed complexity and quality. Now, what to put in it? Vodka became the drink of choice. But with it, a commitment to do something enlightened and different.

The Legend
A controversial archaeological mystery, 13 crystal heads have been found in regions around the world, from the American southwest to Tibet. They’re dated between 5,000 and 35,000 years old, and were supposedly polished into shape from solid quartz chunks over a period of several hundred years. Although according to Hewlett Packard engineers, they bear no tool marks to tell us exactly how they were made.
The heads are thought to offer spiritual power and enlightenment to those who possess them, and as such stand not as symbols of death, but of life.
The Founders
Dan Aykroyd is a well-known actor, musician, entrepreneur and spiritualist; a believer in what he calls the "invisible world" where otherworldly presences are a "form of reality as valid as our normal reality." Partner and veteran fine artist John Alexander has exhibited extensively in the United States and around the world. Together, they were avid researchers of the legend of the 13 crystal heads. And from this inspiration, an idea was born.

Jagnus Design Studio for UNICEF | Auction for Action 2013
In celebration of National Children’s Month, UNICEF Philippines’ Auction for Action 2013 brings together over 90 artists in art, design, furniture and jewelry to benefit a unique education program to provide children access to early learning: Supervised Neighborhood Play Program (SNP).
Curated and presented by UNICEF Special Advocate for Children Daphne Oseña Paez, the online auction is a product of UNICEF and Daphne’s collaboration to bring the world of art, furniture and design together with her advocacy on children.
This year’s auction has more artists and designers contributing for a specific program on education: Supervised Neighborhood Play. It is a simple, low-cost and easy to organize home-based early learning program where trained day care workers or parent volunteers gather young children in a house, a shaded play area or under a tree for two to three hours, every day for at least ten months to help children learn through organized play. UNICEF supports the SNP program in remote, conflict or disaster-affected communities and in informal settlements located in urban and rural areas.
Part of the this year's auction is Jagnus Design Studio's Ant Chair in Dark Alalangad Wood.
Bid for one-of-a-kind pieces from notable Filipino artists and designers and help make a difference for children. The auction goes live on October 21-27, 2013 at HYPERLINK "http://www.ebay.ph/unicef" www.ebay.ph/unicef
For a preview, visit HYPERLINK "http://www.unicef.ph" www.unicef.ph or go to the Yuchengco Museum from October 3 to 26 at the RCBC Plaza, Makati City.
This year’s auction is made possible through the generous participation of the Philippine Star, Yuchengco Museum, Summit Media, Consuelo Zobel Alger Foundation, EBay Philippines, Citem and Manila Fame.
