Customize your clouds!

Kvadrat has now released a new design by the french designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. ‘clouds’ is a textile system, which lies somewhere in between furniture and curtains. The system is modular and evolves as elements are either added or removed.

‘Clouds’ is fully dependant on the user to sculpt its three-dimensional form to reflect their personal expression. each piece in the system is made from kvadrat textiles formed into small triangles. tabs on the outside of each piece allow them to be joined together with special elastic bands. the tiles can be assembled together to create different forms, like a decorative screen or divider and comes in a multitude of colours.

Bent on the cover of Stash

The team at Bent Image Lab is very proud to finally bare its “Hidden Formula”, an international spot for Coca-Cola created in partnership with Santo (Argentina).

The spot is featured as the cover art of STASH 52, as well as in an extended article in this month’s Digital Arts magazine.

Directed by BENT co-founders David Daniels and Ray Di Carlo, “Hidden Formula” is being heralded for its ingenious marriage of stop motion animation and state of the art CG. The secret is out. See for yourself both on Bent’s site and here as a Quicktime.
