BaBear is a playful souvenir from Bratislava that merges two familiar objects from souvenir shops: the teddy bear and a miniature architectural monument—in this case, Bratislava Castle.
The silicone bear replaces its head with the castle, complete with four ears, creating a whimsical and tactile object. Soft and squeezable, the bear invites interaction while referencing a recognizable landmark.
Produced in a range of human skin tones, the piece is designed for tourists from around the world, combining local identity with playful universality.
