Back to the roots of two-wheelers: Woody, a retro-modern bike by Milos Jovanovic

18. Juli 2013 von schall & rauch

So, the Tour de France is fast approaching its 100th (!) finish this Sunday. Congratulations, by the way! And while the world’s eyes are cast upon Paris and the Champs Élysées, we use the opportunity to divert the focus towards a fabulously designed bike that deserves more attention. May I introduce: Woody! A „city bike design inspired by retro steel frame bicycles“. The wooden frame and its reduced, chiseled design are definitely an eye-catcher. This is sustainable design at its […]

What is the world made of? Ursus Wehrli knows the answers: The Art of Clean Up

11. Juli 2013 von schall & rauch

To get to the bottom of things – it really has been the most persistent curse of humankind (besides having to kill each other at regular intervals). Industrialisation, chemicals, nuclear energy, plastic bags, asbestos: each the result of ever-curious minds on a mission to find out what holds the world together in its inmost folds, a successful advancement at first and dangerous or even deadly in the long run. In contrast, Ursus Wehrli, a Swiss artist and performer, has found […]

Young artist creates amazing drawings in the midst of a war crazed world: George Butler

16. April 2013 von schall & rauch

He travels to some of the most dangerous places in the world, where wars rage and one never knows what will happen around the next corner. He usually only has 20 minutes to capture a scene and make a drawing. It’s too dangerous to stay in one spot for too long. I’m not too sure if he’s brave, crazy or just plain stupid to put himself in these kinds of places and situations of his own free will. All I […]
