Designing the Future by Media.Work
Media.Works Studio led by Maxim Zhestkov share their view on Designing the Future by delivering 3 conceptual forecasts for the near future
“For one of our weekly explorations, we divided in three teams that received the task to create a prototype of a physical object. It did not necessarily have to be in the realm of speculative design, yet some of the created items deal with experimental technologies, not seen in mass-produced products.”
“The first object has the potential of being mass-produced — it is a lamp, in which light passes through layers of colorful materials that can be easily switched to anything else. This is an item which is supposed to be customized and which can change mood in the interior completely by simply changing the ‘lampshade’ — it can create shaped shadows with texts or images and mix different textures, being a playground for its user.”
“The second item that was born in our ‘lab’ is an air purifier and a flower pot at the same time. It creates perfect conditions for a plant that grows inside of it, in a glass shell, and uses this plant to clean the air.”
“Our third item is the most future-oriented. It is a visual experiment about shoe soles that grow to adjust their shape for human feet. We created a series of abstract forms, which are examples of how this custom sole can morph to better support a foot and redistribute the pressure.”

Masks by Anastasia Pilepchuk
Moscow-based artist and fashion designer Anastasia Pilepchuk recently got an invite from Instagram for Business to create a series of masks inspired by the topic of “harmony breaks silence”. In collaboration with another artist Moritz Simon Geist they created an interactive versions of them
“In my work I am interested in the notions of sublime and elusion, entering into a meditative process akin to a dream-like state. The real and the fantasy weave together, hiding behind the masks, threads and layers. Expression is channeled through those shapes, finding its intention and force both in the normality and in the surreal.
The method I use in my work is based on constructing an image or an object starting from the small building blocks, which, when gradually put together, let the pattern of the whole emerge. I like to reconsider materials and shapes, finding new ways to inscribe them into the real through the imagination and moments of improvisation that occur in repetitive work.”
