Wong Kar Wine Winebar, Saint-Petersburg by Plan-S23

The expansion of European wine culture to Asia have not been that huge so far as during the last decade. The juxtaposition of classic winery and asian food went very well, and inspired a lot of urban food points. St.Petersburg-based happy three friends were no exception to open a new bar with a tricky name of "Wong Kar Wine" that has mixed up the love to good wine, movies and asian food at one place. Guys asked Plan-S23 design studio to create the space, and without any doubts Maxim Scherbakov and Kate Tolstykh did their best. The clean-shaped bar furniture has been created by VERSTAK Studio and unique wooden panels - by PROKK. So it happens that the full trio of studios came from Saint-Petersburg what make a big sense when speaking about local Russian design.

The Bold Bakery by Sarah Brockett

Graphic designer Sarah Brockett created the project Bold Bakery, an unconventional bakery that stuffs its cakes and cookies with sarcasm and sass instead of cream and sugar.

Though it’s branding may make it appear cute and friendly, the Bold Bakery is not where you want to purchase Grandma’s birthday cake from. It is, however, the perfect place to have a pie created for your cheating husband, or your bratty pre-teen daughter. This establishment simply oozes with sarcasm and sass. Don’t have anyone on your “shit list”? That’s okay. Plenty of our customers partake in “cake wars”, where they gift their friends with raunchy baked goods for no reason at all. Sometimes a little crude humor and chocolate cake is all you need to get by in life

Quayola + Deskriptiv

"We helped artist Davide Quayola with his newest piece of the captives series. The sculpture was printed in one piece by voxeljet in Germany and is now exhibited at the ars electronica in Linz." says Christoph Bader from Deskriptiv

Captives is an ongoing series of digital and physical sculptures, a contemporary interpretation of Michelangelo’s unfinished series “Prigioni” (1513-1534) and his technique of “non-finito”.

The work explores the tension and equilibrium between form and matter, man-made objects of perfection and complex, chaotic forms of nature. Whilst referencing Renaissance sculptures, the focus of this series shifts from pure figurative representation to the articulation of matter itself. As in the original “Prigioni” the classic figures are left unfinished, documenting the very history of their creation and transformation.

Mathematical functions and processes describe computer-generated geological formations that evolve endlessly, morphing into classical figures. Industrial computer-controlled robots sculpt the resulting geometries into life-size “unfinished” sculptures.
