Aarnio Originals has introduced a black version of the Mini KISU, a ceramic decorative object designed by Eero Aarnio.
The new colourway, described as a shiny black finish, joins the existing white and platinum editions in the current collection.
The Mini KISU translates the form of the original KISU — Aarnio Originals’ bestselling figure — into a smaller ceramic format. The object depicts a seated cat and is intended as a decorative element rather than a toy.
The series has a documented history of limited releases. A golden edition of 1,500 pieces was produced in 2022 to mark Eero Aarnio’s 90th birthday. White followed in 2023. The black Mini KISU represents the most recent addition to the range, introduced in 2026.
Eero Aarnio (b. 1932) is a Finnish designer known for his work in plastic and fibreglass furniture from the 1960s onwards, including the Ball Chair and the Pastil Chair. Aarnio Originals continues to produce and develop objects based on his designs.
