Bali-based Patisabdhika Studio and architect Daniel Mitchell recently completed this gorgeous brutalist house. Named A Brutalist Tropical Home in Bali, the multi-level 5,500 square feet (512 sqm) house is located in a small valley nestled within rice fields on the south coast of the island. (P.s. for those who still have misconceptions of Brutalism as “brutal”, it is nothing to do with it - just “raw” and “cement” means a lot for Brutalism, but it’s still debatable)

Snask Studio comes back with a new branding case made for consulting bureau Umbrella. Female founded and powered by two rising stars, Umbrella is rocking the consultant industry.
“We started out by visualizing the vision of the brand by choosing a strong and beautiful color scheme using a pale pink and a candy red along with off-white. We also chose a bold and strong display typeface to communicate strong messages and tag lines. With statements like “When we shine we shine together” and “Come play with us” the step to take the identity out into reality wasn’t far, but we also decided to do some 3D-animations to further elevate the brand. Whether you’re a developer, UX/UI-designer, QA, Product Owner or just share their values, get in touch with them and see how you can find ways of working together.”

A collaborative work lead by art director Vitaly Grossmann together with Superdesigners from Moscow, CG artist Moritz Schwin, Vincent Schwenk and music producer Jürgen Branz, made for trade show in Germany IMAT-uve
“Imat-uve approached us to create a playful material world for a trade show in Germany. Imat’s design department is not only in charge for creating and designing textures, it’s also scanning it for a broader purpose in-house. As we love to work with textures and always challenge us to find the right balance between reality and abstraction, we were more than happy to develop shapes, spaces and colours where the textures become alive. Nearly every texture was scanned and provided by Imat’s design department.”
