We’ve all been weighed down by promotional materials at some point. Personal or professional, there’s times when leaflets, brochures, USB sticks and cringe-inducing gimmicks have come our way like an avalanche. Death by marketing. Look at...
The Edit
Since January, the gallery space at Fort Makers—a New York-based artist collective and design studio—has been transformed into an ethereal puffy 'forest', complete with soft sculptural pillows hanging from the interiors; the floating composition...
