RGB Carnovsky

Carnovsky, the Milan based artist/designer duo comprised of Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla, created for Milan Design Week, a series of wallpapers that react to different coloured lights.

The designs were created for the Milan shop of Janelli & Volpi, a noted Italian wallpaper brand. Each features overlapping illustrations, different elements of which are revealed depending on whether a blue, green or red light is shone upon them. New versions of the wallpapers are on display in a new exhibition in Berlin.

Smashing morning in the design studio

Reality bites but it's a smashing morning in the design studio. The colors and themes of 90's grunge are affluent in these, two of our favorite Smashing Pumpkins videos, "Today" and "Cherub Rock". Thrift shop prints, references to the 70's flower power and LOVE movement, perhaps a call to more ordinary days under it all.

Siren Call with Maxfield Parrish

Maxfield Parrish was an American painter and illustrator active in the first half of the twentieth century. He is known for his distinctive saturated hues and idealized neo-classical imagery. His work fits nicely with some of our ideas for Spring 2014. We love the saturated blues and the seeming call to water.
