the tommy cash‘loafa’collaboration takes over the internet
estonian rapper tommy cash (TOMM¥ €A$H) is no stranger to out-of-the-box collaborations. take his 2021 project with adidas: the pair revealed an absurdly elongated version of the adidas superstar originals that made all kinds of headlines. today, keeping up with his penchant for the extravagant, cash reveals the bread-loaf-inspired LOAFA sofa and rug designed by artist gab bois, proposed to IKEA.
