mabo is the
project of two graphic design students. “it all started as a joke.” Says maya
laughing. “nele wanted a banana t-shirt for a long time, but she didn’t find a
nice one. Nele decided to design one herself and took me with her. After the
lessons we went into the shleiper, an art store, for two tiny paint jars. once back
in her room I looked at her desk and said “you genious, you’ve already dried a
banana skin!”.” actually, she’d forgotten to clean up her trash. the combination
of nele’s chaos and maya’s eye was the beginning of their success. thousand followers
later it turned out that nele wans’t the only one who wanted a shirt with a
banana.
each shirt
or bag is manually printed with real pieces of fruit and textile paint.
