Design collective Lucie Kaas has a penchant for understated design that draws its influence from multiple sources, and has partnered with character design specialists Sketch Inc to create this collection of Kokeshi dolls.

Born Cassius Marcellus Clay, nicknamed The Greatest and Louisville Lip, Muhammad Ali was an American boxer and activist. Ali was named Sportsman of the Century by sports magazine Sports Illustrated .  He passed away on June 3, 2016.

Based on a traditional style of Japanese doll, the collection depicts a number of pop culture icons and symbols including this doll depicting Muhammad Ali, an icon of the sporting world.

Muhammad Ali (1942-2016) was an American former heavyweight champion boxer and one of the greatest sporting figures of the 20th century. An Olympic gold medalist and the first fighter to capture the heavyweight title three times, Ali won 56 times in his 21-year professional career. Ali’s outspokenness on issues of race, religion and politics made him a controversial figure during his career, and the heavyweight’s quips and taunts were as quick as his fists. Born Cassius Clay Jr., Ali changed his name in 1964 after joining the Nation of Islam. Citing his religious beliefs, he refused military induction and was stripped of his heavyweight championship and banned from boxing for three years during the prime of his career. Parkinson’s syndrome severely impaired Ali’s motor skills and speech, but he remained active as a humanitarian and goodwill ambassador.
