To commemorate Aruta Soup’s first solo exhibition in Korea, a special art collaboration with Knotted, the premium donut brand with over 40 locations nationwide and a recent expansion into Los Angeles, will launch on Friday, June 20, 2025.

Knot Your Ordinary Collab: Aruta Soup × Knotted

The bandaged rabbit character “ZERO”, created by Aruta Soup, is a quiet symbol of healing. Its wrappings gently embrace wounded feelings and forgotten memories.

“SUGAR BEAR,” on the other hand, is Knotted’s beloved mascot. The “knot” in the brand’s name evokes the idea of hearts being tied together and memories being preserved through connection.

These two symbolic figures now come together in a heartfelt collaboration themed “Tied Together — SWEETLY BOUND WITH ZERO,” inviting us into a world where emotions are gently wrapped and hearts are lovingly bound.

Collaboration Items

Original Artwork Meets Donuts

For this collaboration, Aruta Soup brings his signature character ZERO into Knotted’s playful world. Under the theme “Tied Together Sweetly Bound with ZERO,” specially designed packaging featuring ZERO and SUGAR BEAR adds a heartfelt touch, capturing a sense of warmth, care, and connection.

Limited Edition Menu and Exclusive Items

A special collaboration menu will be available at select Knotted locations. Inspired by ZERO, the set includes four low-sugar donuts and two drinks. Limited-edition items such as keyrings and cup holders will also be offered while supplies last.
