TRICK PORTRAITS

Thursday, September 13, 2012

Find attached a new portraits series by the weird and wonderful Dutch avant-garde fashion photography duo Blommers & Schumm, for Spain’s Hector magazine. Erm… portraits?, you say? Right, why don’t you take a break and move away from your screen for a moment, and everything will become clearer. I’m not sure how they did that [...]

THE JOY OF COLOUR

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

Colour, of course, is essential, metaphorically and quite literally. As is language, and when the two meet, weird things can happen.

NOT MONO, BUT MERGED

Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Usually mono.kultur only promotes single purpose products. Or other strict mono.causes. However, there has to be an exception to the rule for this two player, double function table tennis-table. Merging work and play, as the designer suggests. Don’t we all try during Christmas time?
