Ana Popescu is a French visual artist and illustrator based in Vienna, Austria who’s work catches your eye and doesn’t let go. Using strong colors and contrast and what seem like simple shapes, her illustrations are visually popping and have a sense of mystery to them as well. Before her art studies of printmaking and drawing at the University of applied Arts in Vienna, Ana studied Philosophy, History of Art and Sociology at the Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen in Germany. Now, her works explore different themes and perception of space, focusing on the relation between inside and outside as well, which translates trough simple forms and vibrant colors. By portraying every day and average objects in different settings and contrasts, she gives them an extra dimension, a second life.

The German furniture company Faust Linoleum combines traditional carpentry and digital manufacturing, creating linoleum tables and tabletops in the Bavarian Alps. The family company has been an expert in environment-friendly furniture since the ‘90s. Their story begins in the early ‘80s, when carpenter and furniture specialist Franz Faust, who was working with designers in Berlin, wanted more than the luxury sector he was creating for at that moment. So he took a leap and developed his own business that would focus on people. Franz wanted his high-quality designer furniture to be available and affordable for everyone. He achieved this by combining and focusing on design, hi-tech production, high-quality materials, and elegant, functional aesthetics. Choosing linoleum as their key material, Faust Linoleum was born.

Valerie_Objects is an Antwerp-based design label founded by Axel van den Bossche, the CEO of Serax, and art director Veerle Wenes, the owner of the Valerie Traan gallery in Antwerp. The two creative minds combined their knowledge and passion for all things good and beautiful in this amazing brand through which they “translate signature works of designers, architects, and artists into tangible objects.” Their mission is to appreciate the aesthetic meaning of everyday objects, focusing on what makes them special. That is why they started with cutlery, a tool that is not easy to design to be beautiful as well as functional. Among others, Maarten Baas, Muller van Severen, and Koichi Futatsumata have designed their own interpretation of these daily tools, leaving behind the classic silverware shapes. After this initial cutlery series, more creations and more collaborations followed. Today, they mostly work with Muller Van Severen, Maarten Baas, and Destroyers/builders. Valerie_Objects has grown into a global design platform “presenting everyday tools and objects that have a unique appearance” as their main philosophy.

Between environmental sustainability and conscious crafting sit the designs of FORESTA.

So often our love of design stems from the beauty and structure of the final product—the way a piece of furniture sits in a room, the way the light fills a space, or the way artwork brightens and improves a blank wall. If something is done well, rarely do we consider the components that go into making it; the idea of base materials completely alludes us. But for Russian studio Omniton, their architectural forms are focused solely on the materials—they start with a strong sculptural, structural, and quality component, building from the ground up to create pieces that will suddenly stop and make you wonder—what is that made of?
