We fell in love with Milanese artist Filippo Minelli’s Shapes series as soon as we saw it. The juxtaposition of artificial smoke in an organic setting is equally as mysterious as it is fascinating.
So we caught up with the man who has takes his urban ideas to rural settings. We wanted to see what inspired him to make ideas that are urban by name, and urban in nature.

We spoke to Jessica about why she thinks her work catches the eye.

Original artists are often inspired by the last thing you would expect. And that is certainly true of Dutch craftsman Piet Hein Eek.

We love the idea of seeing things in a different way, so we asked Piet what his past inspirations were, and what his creative visions are for the future.
