Skio produced his first graffiti in 1993 in the Nice region. Favouring vandal lettering in his early days, then sliding towards a figurative and romantic universe stemming from his pop and television culture, the artist brings his know how towards a singular art that mixes geometric shapes and realistic representations.
Questioning our presence in the urban space, he is particularly inspired by the Bauhaus and artists such as Chirico, Magritte and even Dali. Skio has created his own universe by exploiting his experience and his mastery of techniques, including spray paint, brush and airbrush.

Long time no cars? Sustainable cars indeed. Here is a new drop from Citroen - the Ami is a tiny electric quadricycle with a chic of a Frenchman. We love it as it has a feeling of gendarme Ludovic Cruchot in it chasing crypto artists on the run.










Katsuyo Aoki is best known for her ceramic sculptures that apply delicate, swirling forms to dark subject matter. Aoki trained first as a painter before taking up ceramic as her primary medium, though she sometimes creates abstracted images on her ceramic surfaces using glazes in monochromatic palettes.
Aoki is best known for her works in relief or in the round, and an ornate style that draws from a range of decorative styles. Her works often look radically different from varying perspectives.

Each of Sergio Roger’s works is Unique and is created from antique fabric remnants. The artist himself carefully selects these materials from antique collector stores.

For the 2020 launch of the Mars Rover, NASA asked House of van Schneider to design a symbol capturing the energy and legacy of space travel, while celebrating the engineers who worked tirelessly on this mission.
At once an abstract representation of the iconic rover and blocks reaching up to the sky, the logomark works as beautifully on the rover as it does on a 191-foot tall rocket ship.
Do you know any other designer around whose work travelled to Mars? We know only Tobias! Proud to meet him during OFFF Festivals in Barcelona.
