Studio Beta Funk was founded by multi-disciplinary creative Joseph Davies as an ongoing experiment in craft, character design, product design and narrative.

At this studio — an anti-thesis of modern creative work culture —projects evolve slowly and deliberately, at the pace required for creating something worthwhile.

”CHONKS, The Art Toy Collection” are the first manifestation of this ethos — playful, cat-inspired art toys which are produced in limited editions to celebrate our freedom to connect with the world in our own way.

The first edition of CHONKS were successfully funded on Kickstarter are now available for pre-order on web-store and on speciality toy shops. They ship in March 2024.
