In just a few shorts weeks, Netflix will present its next documentary series, Abstract: The Art of Design. Similar to their already successful Chef’s Table, Abstract will take us into the lives of several designers and some of their most successful projects:

The eight-episode series will focus on eight designers from different disciplines: Graphic design, illustration, photography, architecture, interior design, set design, shoe design and automobile design. There are some pretty huge names in each category, perhaps most notable being the Danish architect Bjarke Ingels (think Via 57 West), Nike's Tinker Hatfield (think Air Jordans and Mags) and Fiat Chrysler's head of design Ralph Gilles (many, many cars).

Really looking forward to my next Netflix binge session.

Their playful home has just been featured in the most recent IKEA catalogue and described as The Most Colorful Apartment in the World.

A little while back, I created this fun La Croix illustration to accompany an open letter EA wrote to our beloved sparkling water company. Check out our outreach here.

The Opening Ceremony for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang was quite the sight. The projection mapping was extremely detailed and, of course, beautiful, but what I enjoyed most were the massive animal puppets. The theatrical storytelling and intricate and lifelike puppets were all thanks to a Brooklyn puppet designer named Nicholas Mahon.

Mahon’s role was to oversee the fabrication and construction of the puppets while providing artistic guidance into their movements.

The official portraits of the Obama’s have been revealed!

Kehinde Wiley is responsible for the 44th president‘s leafy aesthetic, while Amy Sherald created a unique depiction of Michelle Obama, complete with a geometric patterned gown.

Decor, not Decoration 

Shapeup lamps by Ladies and Gentleman Studio premiered at Sight Unseen New York.

L&G are sure to be part of the post modern revival. Their exquisite work embraces a sophisticated balance between playful forms and fine finishes, highlighting what separates a piece that is  “Designed” vs. “Made” and “Decor” from “Decoration”
