The dazzling portfolio of Olaf Hajek – born in Germany and hopping between London and NYC – is as colourful as it is diversed in disciplines, topics, industries – he is commissioned for.
He’s done it all: author, editorial covers, art shows (he paints too), packaging, window dressing installations, etc.






1503 is a strange and fascinating photography essay by Christian Taglianivi a Swiss-Italian residing in Switzerland. The costumes are splendid – the stance impassible. And what about those elongated necks?
No, not simply images, since he loves designing stories with open endings (requiring observer’s complicity) on unexplored themes or unusual concepts, featuring uncommon people with their lives and their thoughts made visible.




Look at all these pretty colors – ooops – pretty letters. Dazzling lines and typographic mixes and surfaces adding layers of somewhat vintage textures and perhaps – a bit over the board color wise – but given that all these appear and are installed in urban environments – possibly the right dose – to kick your day into full speed.
Brought to you by the incredibly talented Studio Myerscough.
