Meet the the All-Stars

New York City’s largest art collective brings its A-Game to 198 Allen Street this summer (August 6th - 12th) in an epic retrospective of long-time collaborators and studio members. Hand-selected from our rich eight-year history in the Lower East Side. Approaching the art world on their own terms, presenting artists embody the culture of Con Artist Collective. Join us for a public gallery reception Thursday, August 9th, 2018 7pm-11pm.

Now we would like to introduce each featured artist:

Kayo Albert

Kayo Albert was born in Hyogo, Japan. After graduating from college in Kyoto, she came to New York to study painting at Art Student League, New York Studio School, and School of Visual Arts. She is actively creating and exhibiting her work in New York. A member since 2014, Con Artist Collective has been her hub for collaboration, exchanging ideas, and inspiring with other fellow artists. Her work is abstract painting heavily combined with drawing on a surface called Mylar. Her use of paint rich in fluidity creates translucent layers, and gives depth and complexity. Mylar of which most of her paintings are done, also gives translucency, luminosity, and airlines. With strong interest in Carl Jung’s psychology, she takes references from nature, and memories perceived and stored in the unconscious, extracted in altered form. She expands her work in several projects: The Iceland Project explores the juxtaposition between abstract painting and landscape photography, which she took in Iceland. In The Pillar and Fault series, paintings are mounted on multi-dimensional planes of wooden board to cross the boundary of 2 dimensional surface.

Tomaso Albertini

Artist Tomaso Albertini was born in Milan, Italy (1984) where he attended the La Scuola del fumetto di Milano. He lives and works in New York City. His first professional work of large format paintings concentrated on a serious investigation of color. Here he broke free from the confines of illustration, the subject emphasized in his academic training, and began to create emotional projections that served as the foundation of his further development. Guided by instinct, he mixed color on flat surfaces using abstract forms that ultimately revealed figures. After this initial period, there was a big change. Albertini began to experiment with new materials. He wanted the work to be more physical - more direct. He introduced the use of burned, melted plastic into the paintings. He has described the process as a defacement of the figure in an effort to dig into the life of the human form. One senses the physical presence of form conveyed by a willful act of transference. Albertini than started to create three-dimensional art using cardboard. It allowed him to accomplish the figure as if it were a sculpture and paint on it as if it were a canvas. This technique introduced dynamics approaching sculpture. It is, in fact, a hybrid manifestation.

Atomik

Atomik is a 100% Miami artist. Atomik, trained in graphic design, is a big name in the Miami art scene. The graffiti legend, part of the infamous MSG crew, a group of local graffiti heroes, has been painting the city for quite some time. While growing up in the emerging Miami graffiti scene of the 80’s, Atomik witnessed for himself at a young age what would later become his profession. Famous for his iconic orange character which emerged as a response to the demolition of the Miami Orange Bowl, the artists also marks the walls of Miami with his sleek hand-styles, graffiti and lettering.

Jaouad “The Jah” Bentama

Jaouad Bentama is a French artist born and raised in Paris, France. As a kid from a non-artistic family, his passion was initiated by his neighbor who took him to his first museum trip, which exposed him to different art styles. Jaouad creates artwork that echoes deeply with the lightness, the happiness, and the innocence of childhood.

Ian Bertram

Ian is an artist working in multiple drawing and painting disciplines. His large scale works have been shown in Paris (Gallerie Glenat), Sri Lanka (Barefoot Gallery), and New York (David Lewis, Lazy Susan, Society of Illustrators). He has worked for Marvel, DC comics, Image comics, and Glenat BD. His current project is a creator-owned title called Little Bird, being published by Glenat Bd in France the winter of 2019.

Andrea Cook

Andrea Cook is an international artist dedicated to empowering women through her paintings on various mediums including the street. Her latest series, Pussy Power debuted at the Museum of Sex in 2015 in NYC. With over 1000 pieces, now in collector’s homes and on the streets in cities all over the world, this body of work continues to grow along with her role as an international artist and global activist. From a 20-year entrepreneurial career in technology and communications that began in Chicago, Cook evolved into a visual artist and has become purposeful and passionate about creating street art that empowers women that drives real social change. As a changeologist, Cook has a large body of work on change that has been showcased in hundreds of shows and venues throughout the country. Wallpaper Magazine "cherry-picked" Andrea Cook’s Pussy Power art as one of the “finest works” from the Art on Paper show during its Art Basel review in 2015.

Charlie Cunningham

Charlie Cunningham’s artwork invokes the contradictions within subjects both dubiously humorous and revolting. Utilizing campy motifs and materials, he searches for humorous optimism in mortality and satirizes the perverse nature of our destruction, both at the hands of time and our fellow man. His artworks span figurative sculpture, installation, drawing and painting. Each work can incorporate a wide variety of mediums including, ceramic, silicone, found objects, charcoal, urethane foam, resin, acrylic, and human hair. Charlie has recently exhibited at the Governor’s Island Art Fair, Burlington City Arts, and The Delaware Contemporary Art Museum. He is also the recipient of several awards and honors including a Teton Artlab Residency, Rasquache Artist Residency, and the Penn State University Creative Achievement Award.

Hektad

Hektad is a New York City graffiti pioneer. In 1982, at the age of 12, the Bronx native set out to compete with veteran bombers such as Mitch 77 and Chris 217. After an intense 12 year campaign on New York’s streets and transit system, Hektad took a well deserved break to focus on his family. In 2013, he returned with a vengeance. After jumping into what many consider a cluttered and undefined street art scene, Hektad clearly took the lead with his whimsical “Love Drunk” hearts and humorous anecdotes.

JCORP

JCORP is an American artist based in New York City. Known for her bright, starry-eyed characters, she explores pop culture and contemporary romance through street art, murals, and illustrative painting. She studied Visual and Critical Studies at the School of Visual Art and earned her BFA in 2014. Some of her clients include MTV, VICE, NBC Universal, Redbull TV, Creative Nail Design, Ricky's NYC, The Doughnut Project, Black Tree Brooklyn, and Little Skips; among other public art projects such as The 100 Gates Project, Centrefuge Public Art, Arts Org LIC, Welling Court Mural Project, Lower Manhattan Art Festival (L.I.S.A. Project), JMZ Walls, and many more.

Seunghwui Koo

Seunghwui Koo creates her works drawing inspiration from the daily happenings and intricate moments of her life in NYC. Her work is a commentary on the lives of New Yorkers as she has witnessed. She was born in South Korea, where she first had the idea of combining the pig’s head and human body. The significance of the pig’s head lies in the different symbolic meanings from the Eastern and Western cultures. Good fortune (Eastern) and greed (Western), two very different connotations of the pig, are themes that are a part of her works. She uses resin, acrylic, plaster, clay, and mixed media to create her works. She is one of the artists in the Chashama organization in NYC.

Joseph Meloy

Joseph Meloy is a muralist and mixed media artist who creates electrifying images that trigger the senses. His art is more of a subconscious realization of an idea or thing, than it is a fully realized or recognizable concept, yet there is enough there to convey a purposeful message of emotion, movement or mechanization. He has a distinctive style – each painting is a little different, but it’s always abstract with a bright color palette. He calls his work “post graffiti” art and coined the term “vandal expressionism” to best describe what he does.

Dean Millien

Millien is an NYC-based artist who creates sculptures out of aluminum foil. His first solo exhibition, “Curses, Foiled Again”, was debuted at Con Artist Collective. He has been commissioned by J.Crew for their “Crew Cuts” kids lines. His sculptures have also been featured in Macy’s window display.

John Raymond Mireles

John Raymond Mireles began his artistic career in the mountains as a rock climber, photographically documenting the lives and exploits of his fellow vertically inspired athletes. Though a climbing rope is no longer part of his equipment list, Mireles continues in his photographic adventures. His most recent series consists of portraits of Americans from all 50 states. Entitled the Neighbors Project, it has been publicly installed in San Diego, Phoenix, Anchorage, and in New York City’s Lower East Side - where it was listed by the New York Times and The Guardian newspapers as one of the top public exhibitions of 2018. Solo shows of his work include the Anchorage Museum in Anchorage, Alaska, Bread and Salt gallery in San Diego, and Circuitous Succession in Memphis, among others. Mireles is a recent transplant to New York City from his hometown of San Diego, California. His first solo gallery show in New York City will take place in September 2018 at the Storefront Gallery in the Lower East Side.

MOR

Mor is an artist and Brooklyn native. A daughter of storytellers and artists - her narrative originates from an inherent urge to express an inner landscape of dreams and symbols. Spirited forms of flora and fauna emerge from a delicate and meditative process of paper cutting. She utilizes both pencil and blade to create these multi-layer stencils and singular paper cuts.

Victor Joseph Ochoa

Victor Joseph Ochoa (b. 1988) is an artist born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. After graduating from The Cooper Union in 2010, Victor began to pursue a career in graphic design within the publishing industry. He has worked for companies such as HarperCollins, Scholastic, and Simon and Schuster designing books for children of all ages. He has had books on the New York Times best sellers list and has worked with companies such as Nickelodeon, Lionsgate, Guinness World Records, Rovio, DC Comics, and more. He is a member of the Con Artist Collective in the Lower East Side of New York City. Here he creates, mentors, learns, and grows with a family of artists from around the world. Outside of his graphic design career Victor continues to pursue all aspects of creation. In 2010 he started the independent comic publisher DRAWMORE INC., where he self-publishes comics. He has exhibited at numerous local comic conventions, such as New York Comic Con, MoCCA Festival, and King Kong. He also ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for the comic anthology NOBODIES Volume 2. He previously worked as the Lead Publishing Designer at Marvel Entertainment. He currently is an Art Director at Ellation (Crunchyroll & VRV).

Cody Oyama

Cooper Union alumni working with history, memory and the inability to touch either and the failures of both. Cody, along with Laura Tack (who now resides in Morocco) were two of the earliest artists to join the Collective and played a large role in the development of its culture.

RAD (Raddington Falls)

RAD is an artist and art educator in New York City. Originally from Los Angeles, Cuban-American RAD has exhibited and sold artwork online, galleries and alternative spaces. He has taught in museums, public and independent schools and community centers. His artwork embraces the person we were as a child. Sometimes, his artwork is a harsh mirror of our society. Most of the time, it lives somewhere in the middle. And perhaps his work may allow people to tap into their own sense of wonder and the power somewhere inside of them.

RX Skulls

Rx Skulls aka Arrex is a adhesively obsessed exterior decorator from Portland Oregon who’s street art revolves around a single skull photo taken in the Natural History Museum in London. The project began its evolution in 2010 after a series of medical hardships and a trip to Europe, which exposed Rx to the world of street art in person. Having already dabbled in screen printing, creating stickers and posters from scratch quickly became more of an addiction than a hobby. To this day, six years later, Rx travels the world sharing his skulls, tombstones, poison labels, and plethora of other morbid designs with the masses.

Audrey Ryan

Audrey Ryan is a figure painter with a dark sense of humor, hailing from Binghamton, New York. She holds a BFA in Drawing & Painting and a BS in Visual Arts Education from SUNY New Paltz.

Her work is regularly published by Endless Editions, and is distributed/exhibited internationally. She is informed by punk culture, and histories of disorder, addiction and recovery. While also making drawings, poems, prints, zines, videos, installations and tattoos, she aims to communicate the struggle to survive our human selves.

Rachael Senchoway

Rachael Senchoway wishes to inhabit a space where her restless energy can channel itself into something that lives outside of her body. She takes in her environment and returns it to the world as characters that are ultimately stand-ins for herself, and people she knows in her dreams. She is able to exert control over this dimension and integrate the creatures into a system that allows them to escape, become heros, animals, lovers, and ghosts whom exist in an ongoing myth. Creating these places helps her to see where she’s been, and where she’s going. Each painting is treated as an individual meditation within a body of work. These ideas allow her to rediscover the complexities of her own human experience.

Katie Shima

Katie Shima (BA Columbia University, MArch Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation) is an artist and architect based in Brooklyn. Katie has had exhibitions at BRIC, the Knockdown Center, Bridge Gallery, Mighty Tanaka Gallery, Devotion Gallery, Trestle Gallery, and others in New York City as well as the GWVA Museum in Springfield, MA, and D.A.K. in Aarhus, Denmark.

Katie is also a founding member of the electronic noise art group Loud Objects and has taught as an instructor at Columbia University.

Brandon Sines

Frank Ape is a Sasquatch who lives in New York City amongst the humans and is the creation of artist Brandon Sines. Frank can be seen all over the city on any given day and has been spotted on streets and in homes around the world. He embodies positivity and equality, and cares about all living things. Frank believes in "creating your own universe" and inspiring people and animals every day. Shortly after moving to New York City in 2010, Sines combined his use of mythological creatures, pop icons, and made up characters into a new character called Frank. Frank is an “ape” that often takes the form of a cartoon, but is no doubt a reference to Sines himself. Frank explores human conditions without human restrictions.

The Sucklord

The Sucklord is a New York City Pop Artist and Television Personality known for his subversive Action Figure mashups and Reality TV Persona. Operating under the Brand SUCKADELIC, The Sucklord’s Line of self-manufactured Bootleg Toys steal shamelessly from STAR WARS, Vintage Advertising and All manner of Pop Culture Trash. Packaged in layers of ironic self-Mockery, His shoddy looking wares have inspired an entire secondary Art movement, with dozens of entrepreneurial Toy Bootleggers creating their own versions of highly referential, low-Rent interpretations of their favorite figures. Recently The Sucklord has increased the scale of his work, putting oversized Blister-carded figures in Tokyo Art Galleries, the homes of the famously wealthy, and the Walls of downtown New York City.

Laura Tack

Born on 9 June in Belgium, Laura Tack works through images and materials in an attempt to connect with the vastness of time, using processes that emphasize the connection between creation and destruction. Laura, as a painter, depicts both the pains and joys of seeking out and growing closer to our roots. She is currently living and working in Marrakech, Morocco.

Sarah Wang

Sarah is interested in people and the communities they represent. In her photography and films, she collaborates with her subjects to tell their stories. She is exploring new ways and mediums through which to tell these stories, working in collaboration with professionals in various creative fields along the way. A photographer, film-maker, and curator born in Harbin, China, Sarah grew up in the Bay Area from the age of six. She earned her BA in Art Education from San Francisco State University with an emphasis in drawing and painting as well as a CA Teaching Credential in K-12 Art Education. Sarah worked as an artist teacher with the Joan Mitchell Foundation during her first three years in New York. She then, along with fellow artist, Shaina Yang opened an alternative art space in the Lower East Side, called City Bird Gallery. They offered an experimental space for emerging & professional artists as well as student and community organizations to exhibit their work. Shaina and Sarah have since joined forces with a collective of women and gender non-binary artists and curators to create Disclaimer Gallery, an experimental installation space catered to showing queer, women of color and other marginalized groups.

Wizard Skull

Wizard Skull is an artist living and working in Brooklyn NY. Early on he picked up skateboarding, and he immersed himself within the subculture. Designing T-shirts, skateboard graphics, and skateboarding in local shop videos, he eventually went on to design over 200+ board graphics for skateboard companies from Norway, Russia, England, and all over the US and rest of the world. His art as well as himself skateboarding appeared in numerous skateboard magazines including Thrasher. Adopting the moniker of Wizard Skull and abandoning freelance design work, he began wheat pasting his art all around New York. One of his most often wheat pastes was "Sexy Ronald", a buff version of Ronald McDonald wearing only underwear with fries popping out of them. People began photographing and sharing images of it on social media which led to the image going viral several times, being bootlegged and sold on T-shirts in Thailand. This also led to his art being exposed to a larger audience.

Shaina Yang

Shaina Lee-Shuan Yang, often known as Aniahs Gnay or Moon Mansion, is a multidisciplinary visual artist and arts organizer based in NYC. Their work explores the relationships of the vessel body and its carried symbols, connectivity, and the space between it all.

The Fun + Fantastical Inner-City Apartment Of Two Next Generation Designers

Creative People

by Sasha Gattermayr

Josh and Matt’s inner-city apartment is packed to the brim with fun, dynamic and colourful pieces. Photo – Amelia Stanwix for The Design Files. Styling – Annie Portelli.

The boys make most of their pieces by hand in their Melbourne apartment, using materials from local Australian suppliers. Photo – Amelia Stanwix for The Design Files. Styling – Annie Portelli.

Josh Jessup and Matt Moses discovered their love (and penchant) for art and design last year, when they were in lockdown watching American interior designer Kelly Wearstler’s masterclasses online at night. This ‘lightbulb moment’ led them to pack up shop and move to Melbourne where the creative energy was extra magnetic – and aren’t we glad they did?!

Matt is an app developer by day and a designer by night, while freshly minted interiors and architecture graduate Josh works full time on their art and homewares brand, Josh and Matt Design. From hand-making the products to packaging orders and filming TikToks, the duo are forging ahead with their fun, no-rules approach to design, and creating a devoted online community of fans and customers.

We’re totally obsessed with these guys!

First thing’s first, tell me about Josh and Matt Design!

Josh and Matt Design was born after we experimented with creating our own homewares and art for our own apartment. We were both working from home so it really forced us to reflect on our interior and rethink what we wanted to be surrounded by.

Our first art product was our rental-friendly range of hanging mobiles. They attach to the ceiling via command strips with the hanging sculptures attaching magnetically. This allows you to swap the pieces around whenever you feel like it and even mix and match between mobiles. Using this same modular system, we quickly expanded into a whole range of art for many aspects of the home including downlight art and magnetic wall sculptures. Our most recent designs have been our lava candles and candle holders!

We make everything in our apartment here in Melbourne, using various Australian suppliers. Our acrylic pieces are laser cut by Domus Vim in Sydney and everything else is handmade by us! Our art is made to order so most nights you can find us making our art and packaging orders.

How would you describe your aesthetic?

We’d call it curated maximalism, with elements of postmodern design and retrofuturism. We’ve blended a lot of these elements into an aesthetic that really represents who we are! It’s fun, dynamic and full of colour.

How did you arrive at this style?

As our art style evolved so did our interior. Just a year ago, our home had a very neutral colour palette. As we began to experiment with colour we became more confident using it, and that flowed into our interior. We’ve now fully embraced colour and treat our home as an art playground.

Do you have any artistic inspirations or interiors references?

We love the radical design of Gufram and Memphis Milano. We don’t really follow rules when it comes to our design aesthetic, and really like how they approached design in a similar way.

Kelly Wearstler is also a huge inspiration for us, as she helped us look at interiors from a new perspective by treating every object as an individual sculpture. This allowed us to think about how all of our interior pieces interact with one another.

You guys have so many followers on tiktok… How many videos do you make each week?

We love making TikToks in our spare time, and often have a content plan for each weekend! We usually post three times a day showcasing different aspects design including architecture, fashion, interiors and art!

We like to treat our TikTok as a design community first and business second. We love showing our art and development behind the scenes on TikTok. It has been a such an amazing platform for us to find our community, we never imagined we would be having sellout art launches four months into our journey.

What are your favourite pieces in the house?

There are so many pieces in our home that we absolutely love and still pinch ourselves over! When moving to Melbourne, a red Togo fireside chair matching our Togo loveseat popped up on Facebook Marketplace mid-flight – it was like the universe giving us a house warming gift!

Another favourite of ours would be our vintage Verner Panton x IKEA Vilbert chair. We also love our Memphis Milano squash tray and our custom desk from Curated Spaces made by Jack and Mark Fearon.

Do you have any tips for collecting design pieces or finding new makers?

When we were in Sydney planning our move to Melbourne we were scouting every available source! From local vintage stores, Facebook Marketplace and Instagram collectors, we were curating our Melbourne apartment non-stop.

We would definitely recommend first thinking about what your design style is. Then break this down into sub categories such as materiality, design eras and brands. Use these keywords to browse Facebook marketplace and set up search alerts, we found so many of our pieces this way! Also use these key words on Instagram and you’ll find a ton of local curators and makers that have some amazing pieces. Lastly, make sure to visit your local vintage stores, there’s often hidden gems that will jump out at you!

Explore Josh and Matt’s crazy popular products here, and keep up with their antics/product drops/cockerlier Luis on TikTok here (or Instagram here)!

Memphis Design is a style of design from the 1980s that features a lot of vividly colored forms and lines. Circles and triangles are frequently combined with black-and-white graphic motifs such as polka dots and squiggly lines. Ettore Sottsass convened with a group of designers in December 1980 to form a new design collective (where a group of artists or designers create work together under one name). Everyone went away to think of new ideas, and three months later, the group got together again, this time carrying over a hundred sketches with them. They named themselves after a Bob Dylan song called Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again, which was played repeatedly during their first meeting. Memphis, like many other creative revolutions, was a reaction to the status quo. Structure and straight lines dominated mid-century modern and minimalism in the 1950s and 1960s. To counter this, Sottsass focused the group's thinking on "radical, hilarious, and absurd" ideas, effectively discarding what was considered "good taste" at the time. Their distinctive look was inspired by Art Deco geometric shapes, Pop Art color palettes, and 1950s kitsch.

Ettore Sottsass, an architect and industrial designer, was born in Innsbruck in 1917 and has been one of the most influential and essential personalities in the twentieth-century design landscape. He grew up in Turin, where he graduated from the Polytechnic University in 1939 after being exposed to the field of architecture at an early age, as his father was also an architect. He then served in the military during World War II and spent years in a labor camp in Yugoslavia. After returning home, he worked in his father's business, restoring houses that had been destroyed during the war, before establishing his own practice in Milan, specializing in ceramics, painting, and interior design. He was a founding member of the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus and later worked with industrial designer and Modernist George Nelson in New York City. Entrepreneur Irving Richards then commissioned him to create a ceramics exhibition, a medium he had been working with since the beginning of his career and which was swiftly launching him into international renown for his originality and ingenuity. In 1958, Adriano Olivetti, the most significant typewriter and computer maker in Italy, employed him as a design consultant. Olivetti was known for its very innovative design. He designed the first Italian mainframe computer for them, which earned him the coveted Compasso d'Oro award in 1959, as well as a variety of typewriters, office equipment, and furnishings. During his time at Olivetti, his style began to emerge more clearly: he pushed the limits between industrial design and pop culture by adding vibrant colors, form, and flair to office equipment. From his first utilitarian and austere typewriters to the Valentine, an accessory that became a fashion statement in Italian culture in 1969, he acquired renown and acclaim as an inventive and disruptive product designer who was not afraid to break the rules and go beyond functionality and form.

Ettore Sottsass has created several lamp designs for Memphis, including the 'Ashoka' table lamp. In terms of form, it most closely resembles the 'cactus' or 'totem' design language found in some of its furniture, such as the Carlton room divider and the Casablanca sideboard. The Ashoka lamp is made of painted and chromed metal, with five lights and a halogen light inside the top yellow piece. The details on it, the shapes and colors of the details reflect the understanding of Ettore Sottsass and Memphis group. Since the lamp is very familiar with the design language of Memphis group and Ettore Sottsass, it is very easy to understand that it belongs to them.

Illuminate your spaces with designer Rispal lamps

Good lighting is an important aspect of a room. It has a huge impact on the final ambiance of the space. The choice of lighting can make or break the overall aesthetic of a room. It is the reason why people buy designer lamps such as ceiling lamps and the praying mantis from Rispal, as they are made up of high-quality material with great attention to detail so as to ensure durability in the long run. If you are looking to buy a lamp for your home or office décor, here are some considerations for picking the right lamp.

Lamp's Weight

Weight is one of the primary considerations when it comes to buying a lamp. You should consider the movement level in the area where you are planning to place it. You can buy taller, lighter, or high-end table lamps for living rooms, as there is minimal movement in these rooms.

Purpose and Functionality

It is also important to consider the purpose and functionality of the lamp. If you need focused light for work or reading, a task lamp with an adjustable arm can be a good choice. If you want to highlight an artwork, you should look for accent lighting.

Lampshade

Lampshades are the heart and soul of a lamp design. They not only affect the appearance of the map but also the quality and direction of the light. Rispal Natural Oakwood table lamp is perfect for your living room, bedroom, or home office. The Rispal Paris Double Boomerang ceiling lamp is a good fit for open-concept spaces and modern offices.

Source of the Lighting

There are multiple options for lighting sources for a lamp. The type of light source you use will affect the quality and color of the light emitted by it. It is prudent to choose wisely.

High end designer lamps

A lot of people prefer to spend some extra bucks to buy high end designer accessories such as ceiling lamps, praying mantis-style silhouette etc. For instance, Rispal is a contemporary lighting brand known worldwide environmentally conscious home lighting and fixtures. These products are made using superior quality materials and proven techniques to create unique and long lasting designer lamps and accessories

Exceptional Objects for artifacts and accessories from iconic designer brands

If you are looking to buy designer lamps, Rispal lamps are a great way to enhance the lighting and the aesthetic of your spaces. The designer is best known for its iconic Mante Religieuse floor lamp, which features a striking praying mantis-style silhouette, designed by Douglas Mont.

Exceptional Objects is a platform to buy authentic designer objects from iconic international brands. It features high-quality objects and artifacts. It gives you a chance to buy designer ceiling lamps and lighting.

All the items are sourced from the most serious and reputable artists, wholesalers, and manufacturers. These designer objects are delivered along with the guarantee certificates offered by the manufacturers and artists. They are often made to order. They also offer good deals on designer products, so you can buy aesthetic and original-quality designs at comparatively lower prices.

Bun Hamburger Chain, Milan

Bun Hamburger Chain in Milan

10 Feb 2021

Bun Hamburger Chain

Design: Masquespacio

Location: Viale Bligny, 19a, 20136 Milano MI, Italy

Masquespacio has just finished its first interior design project in Milan for Italian hamburger chain Bun.

After presenting its Memphis inspired Toadstool collection in 2016 and their collaborative exhibition with Italian terracotta artisan Poggi Ugo during the last Milan Design Week, now Masquespacio returns back to Milan with its first interior design project for Bun, located at Viale Bligny, next to the Bocconi University. The aim for the project was to create an identity with a clear focus on the younger generations and at the same time represent a more sophisticated ap-proach for a high-quality hamburger restaurant.

During the last years there is a strong growth of hamburger chains, although most of them are opting for a vintage & industrial look for their spaces. The design developed by Masquespacio for Bun takes the opposite direction and seeks to create an innovative concept that showcases the authenticity of Bun and its smash burgers. This way Masquespacio has used gold touches and terrazzo tiles mixed with a splash of color that creates a sophisticated, but at the same time fresh design.

The project itself although starts from the investigation of the exist-ing elements of the space with the aim to integrate them into the overall design aesthetic.

Ana Hernández, creative director from Masquespacio: “When we saw the beautiful bricks and arcs from the space it was evident for us that we would use these 2 elements as the starting point of the design.”

To create a uniform aesthetic through the space Masquespacio added additional arc forms with a green and purple color through the whole space, some totally independent and others are highlighting the al-ready existing arcs from the interior architecture.

Additionally, the wooden table tops and plants represent the healthy and zero plastic identity from Bun.

After their successful collaboration in this project Masquespacio and Bun are now also working on several new restaurants, amongst which the next one will be Buns’ first opening in Turin.
