Multiply like rabbits...

Say hello to Artur Dabrowski. He’s a twenty-something with a degree in architecture, born and living in Brooklyn, New York.

He loves rabbits.

He loves them even more than me

He is the designer and creator of Multiply LIke Rabbits.

While I have no idea why I love rabbits so much. Arthur, on the other hand, is quite sure why

Everyone always asks "why rabbits?” I started drawing rabbits in the margins of my notebooks during high school. I would personify rabbits to express thoughts, situations or feelings I was having. I think the imagery of the rabbit being personified is playful — the rabbit is cute, hops around, eats, multiplies… and lives naively in this world. Personification takes that image and crosses them with this highly rational and complex being, incapable of preserving its naivety. Rabbits were the vessel through which I felt comfortable expressing myself. I have notebooks filled with drawings of rabbits, each telling their own story.

From his ‘small object workshop’ in NYC he creates the most charming rings, bangles , pendants and chokers all featuring the most darling little rabbits.

“Depth" moves me. I find it enriches the design and engages people. I play with depth in formal language (shadow lines, depth of field, composition) as well as in meaning (details, storytelling). Rather than be overt, I like to naively create a moment suggestive of a story.. of a story that can be interpreted differently than my initial intent. Although I am expanding the line with more architectural pieces, I use rabbits as characters in this open-ended story.

Needless to say, I love them all and would be very happy if any them hopped into my life…
