Tip 15 — week 51, 2024  

What’s this?

These are some of the most interesting and beautiful things that we talked about at our studio this week. We show you the stuff that we have come across on instagram, the web or in real life and that inspires and excites us. And yes, sometimes we mingle in our own projects. We enjoy sharing it with our friends, colleagues and anyone interested. Below this week’s 15 tips, here our collected overview.

Leif Low-Beer is a multifaceted artist renowned for crafting immersive installations that invite contemplation and introspection, with elements that coalesce into a cohesive whole when viewed from a particular perspective.

Somewhere, lost in the clouded annals of YouTube, lies a place that few have seen: The Over the Garden Wall anniversary stop-motion short.  It is a brief 3 minutes and 18 seconds, but it is anything but simple. For starters, claymation is fucking hard, even for a short like this.

Pat Kim is a Brooklyn based designer and artist working primarily in objects and furniture rooted in the philosophy of sculptural simplicity and enduring quality.

Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in “Send to YouTube” button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.

To blur the lines between mass production and custom design, Parasite redefines the landscape of mass-produced furniture. By introducing custom 3D-printed elements that transform IKEA pieces into unique, sustainable designs, it challenges the notion that mass-produced furniture is inherently generic and impersonal. 

Unlearning AI offers a refreshing analogue approach to artificial intelligence, one that intentionally exposes flaws rather than perfecting them. In a time when AI-generated images are becoming “cleaner” and more “perfect,” Alma Haser’s project challenges our perception of reality, showing us what’s lost when technology erases imperfection.

As part of an ongoing bid to get his hands on Vantablack, the super dark, light-absorbing material to which Anish Kapoor controversially has the exclusive license, artist Stuart Semple has legally changed his name to… Anish Kapoor.

Architecture for Dogs, invented by architects and designers, is an extremely sincere collection of architecture and a new medium, which make dogs and their people happy.

Elliott Denny is a London-based designer working in the field of ceramics. He draws reference from the built environment and looks to other materials and the processes associated with them as a catalyst for new ways of thinking about and working with clay.

“One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure”. But New York City’s garbage, well that’s art.” Justin Gignac’s garbage art began as an experiment in package design. Today, NYC Garbage can be found on desks and bookshelves and mantles around the world.

Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho (Ozzy for friends) is famous for his UN building in NYC and the archtecture for Brasilia among others. But this gem for the French Communist Party  escaped our attention until now (scroll to the interiors section!!!). Enjoy this extensive and wonderful series of photographs.
Cool fact: the interiors served as an inspiration for Apple TV series Severance.

By mixing abstraction, collage and drawing animator Sasha Svirsky invites us into spontaneous and unsystematic research of the potential of animation.

As a communication designer, Kelli Anderson began her career in information design. “The act of data visualization is all about bringing facts from the abstract and numerical realm into the sphere of perception, so you can see them,” she says in a video on Kickstarter.

Brazilian artist João Loureiro creates edible art by churning six nameless grayscale gelatos and serving them at the Tadao Ando-designed MPavilion 10 at Queen Victoria Gardens in Melbourne, Australia.

Robert Dawson’s ceramic art literally blurs the lines between tradition and innovation, motion and permanence, and challenges conventional perceptions of craftsmanship.
