New Horizons at 2026 GAF: Global Art Meets Designer Toys
August 14–16, 2026 | Guangzhou, China
This past August, New Horizons brought Zombie Cube to the 2026 Guangzhou Illustration Art Fair (GAF) — one of Asia's most influential illustration and creative arts events, held at the Poly World Trade Center. Under this year's theme "The Vein of Blossoms," GAF gathered over 400 artists and 80 international exhibitors across an 11,000 sqm immersive exhibition space, and we were thrilled to be part of it.
Zombie Cube Goes Global
At our booth, we showcased Zombie Cube in conversation with artists from around the world — a reflection of our core belief that great design transcends borders. Highlights included:
- Timothy Goodman (New York) — The acclaimed illustrator, designer, and street artist known for his bold typographic works and collaborations with brands like Apple, Google, and Target, brought his signature energy to a series of exclusive Zombie Cube art illustrations and limited-edition collaborative figures.
- Tanpopoe (Thailand) — The beloved Thai illustrator contributed her distinctive artistic vision to a special collection of Zombie Cube illustrations and collaborative statues, blending her whimsical style with our iconic cube form.
These cross-cultural collaborations represent what Zombie Cube has always stood for: a blank canvas for creative expression, reimagined through the eyes of diverse artistic voices.
First Look: The Pata Cube Series
We also used GAF as the stage for a major reveal — the debut of our upcoming product line, Pata Cube.
Pata Cube strips the designer toy back to its purest form. Built around solid-color palettes, the series celebrates the beauty of minimalism and lets the sculptural silhouette speak for itself. No graphics, no distractions — just color, shape, and presence.
Attendees were among the first to see Pata Cube up close, and the response was overwhelming. We can't wait to share more as the launch date approaches.
What's Next
GAF 2026 reminded us why we do what we do: to connect art, culture, and community through objects that mean something. Stay tuned for Pata Cube release details, new collaboration drops, and more from the Zombie Cube universe.
