Season three of Lucasfilm's beloved The Mandalorian rolled its credits this week, but it's still finding a way to make headlines thanks to its latest collaborative effort. After uniting with Volkswagen for the launch of Obi-Wan Kenobi and joining forces for a duo of ID. Buzz cars in 2022, the Disney+ series recently announced its reconnection with the German motor vehicle manufacturer to uncover its latest ID. Buzz that's inspired by The Mandalorian.“Last year’s campaign was so successful, and I had so much fun designing the wraps for the Obi-Wan cars, where we did the light side and the dark side,” Doug Chiang — Lucasfilm VP and creative director said. "So this time we thought it would be terrific if we could come up with another idea.”For the concept behind this car collab, Chiang wanted...
Dozie Kanu has teamed up with Byredo to create an installation that brings the brand's Bal d’Afrique fragrance to life. On show during Milan Design Week at Spazio Maiocchi, the installation pairs a gallery of archival photography alongside a large-scale architectural structure. Visitors enter the space via a corridor. Here, a glass vitrine displays photographs from the Saman Archive - a project initiated by Adjoa Armah, which collects images taken in Ghana across different decades. For Kanu, representing the past through his work is crucial, in terms of creating a connection. As such, by showing the audience these images before inviting them into the installation itself, he looks to convey a sense of shared perspective. "It feels more authentic for me to try and see the continent through t...
Like the roar of a tenor saxophone gliding over the rhythm, improvisation was a key technique for Jean-Michel Basquiat. Understandably so, as his affinity for jazz is well documented. Even before amassing an impressive record collection himself, the young artist would draw on the floor as his father would play the trumpet. Bebop, in particular, would become a lifelong interest for Basquiat, especially the virtuosic music of Charlie Parker.Basquiat's homage to Jazz, Now’s the Time (1985), will be the centerpiece of Sotheby's Contemporary Evening Auction next month. Named after Parker's 1945 record of the same name, the painting has been in the collection of publisher and film producer, Peter Brant, and is expected to fetch roughly $30m USD.“In [Now’s the Time], we witness Basquiat radically...

For Inès Longevial, the body is a canvas for her to paint what she feels. Sometimes these self-depictions takes on a languid palette, such as a slate blue mixed with chartreuse and deep purple; whereas, as it often does in the sunnier months, Longevial opts for sun-kissed colors to hint at a sense of play and excitement. The French artist landed somewhere in between these two polarities in her latest print entitled Elphaba. Perhaps named after the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz, Longevial's self-portrait exudes a calm, yet mysterious figure, whose colors reflect the changing of the seasons. Originally made in colored pencil, the sketch is dominated by pastel colors, from pink and magenta to lilac and robins egg blue. Made in collaboration with the centuries old wine producer,...
After offering a brief look at the Polestar 4 last week, the Swedish automotive brand has returned with a comprehensive preview of the electric car. Polestar has now officially added the car to its lineup, marking its second SUV overall.Combining the “aerodynamics of a coupé” with the spaciousness of an SUV, the Polestar 4 is designed to sit between the Polestar 2 and Polestar 3 in terms of price and size.While the car has a few impressive features, perhaps the most interesting is the total elimination of a rear window. Polestar says the lack of window lends itself to “a new kind of immersive rear occupant experience.” The front lights are also separated in a dual-blade design, creating a narrow, futuristic aesthetic.Coupé-like aerodynamics are achieved through a compact design consisting ...
