HUF celebrates 4/20 this year with the new 420 capsule collection that is full of vintage design themes and nostalgic aesthetics. The capsule referenced graphics that are reminiscent of the 70s, including visuals, typography, and counterculture of the era.
It also introduces the new Green Buddy character, which comes to life with inspiration from classic comic book art. Green Buddy goes through his daily wake-and-bake routine with his own comic strip entitled "A Day In The Life." He is also shaped like the marijuana plant and is detailing the capsule of apparel and accessories, as well as furniture made in collaboration with Modernica. The iconic HUF Plantlife print can be seen decorating Modernica's iconic Shell Dowel Chair and Base Table.
