It’s been well documented that vinyl is well and truly back as the discerning music-lover’s format of choice: according to the Vinyl Factory, UK vinyl sales revenue is set to overtake CD sales this year for the first time in 30 years. But even though we’re in the midst of this vinyl revival, there’s one relic from 20th century record shopping culture that feels more archaic: record shop bags.

Barcelona-based artist Raya Sader Bujana ( previously ) defines her work as something between sculpture and illustration, creating impossibly tiny replicas of houseplants that rest atop a finger. From leaves to blooms and thorns to branches, even the delicate woven baskets that contain the plants are constructed from paper with the aid of tweezers and scalpels in a process more akin to surgery than origami

Interesting Times Gang , a Stockholm-based creative studio, was recently commissioned by two-star Michelin chefs Niclas Jönsson and Daniel Höglander to design a chair for the chefs’ new sushi restaurant concept, Black Milk Sushi. The ask was to design a chair that’s never been done before, and so, the Kelp Chair was born. Inspired by the lines and silhouettes found in ocean vegetation, the chair is 3D printed with a material made from recycled fishing nets mixed with wood fiber.

Casual movie-goers and cinema obsessives alike have always had a healthy curiosity as to what goes into making movie magic. Look no further than the blockbuster exhibitions dedicated to the likes of Stanley Kubrick or Wes Anderson, which illustrate the public’s appetite for seeing sets, costumes and other paraphernalia in the flesh. A new exhibition in South Florida is zeroing in on a niche yet.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

Oceans are a crucial part of the system that produces oxygen. Yet, we treat them as a free food resource that can be exploited without as much as” how do you do”. Animals create a complex system that enables our planet to function in a fairly homeostatic state. Yet, we don’t even blink when another animal species disappear. There is almost no point to talk more about the Amazonian forest or any other forest for that matter.

The surrealistic images that Johnston transfers to canvas are felt more by the spinal cord than by the brain – they are intuitively frightening, and for the particularly tender ones they can even trigger a panic attack of trypophobia.

Toiletpaper Magazine is an Italian art magazine founded in 2010 by artist Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. There is no text in the magazine. It’s a fun photo project in which Cattelan and Ferrari mock, with maximum abstract and surreal imagery, the modern advertising in which they have worked all their lives. Many of the photographs – and especially the covers – though made as a mockery, are still striking in quality.
