Paolo Rizzatto's 265 returns in a diminutive version, a companion to the original that maintains its precise proportions with a more compact form. In 1973, Rizzatto applied his architect thinking to lighting. Intuitive, technical and precise, the result is as simple as it gets: a suspended wall lamp essentially made of a head and weight, each balanced at the extremities of an adjustable arm, and attached to the wall in an asymmetric position. To enhance its composition, Rizzatto had originally drawn it in primary colours (each identifying one of the design's three elements: head, arm and weight). His democratic design (available in black, white and Chromatica) is now even more versatile thanks to the reduced proportions. www.apartamentostudios.com www.flos.com Sometimes I need a car.

Shibuya, Tokyo Japan 2020. www.buik.jp www.papierlabo.com Illustrator Andreas Samuelsson has never really got used to using emojis. "It did not feel like my thing," he tells It's Nice That, "I can still struggle to find the right one today." A visual communicator who often uses shapes or his own renditions of everyday objects in his work, you can understand how, aesthetically and communicatively, emojis didn't quite hit the mark. And so together with publisher Nieves, Andreas has made his own set, which you can download too.

For Andreas inspiration comes in many forms; stuff that is surrounding him, stuff from the past and stuff from the other side of the world. www.league-extraordinaire.com Cover illustration and typography for Popeye Magazine Issue 860 "Craftsmanship!", Tokyo Japan 2018. When encountering great craft works, we come to think why we are so fascinated by them so much. One reason may be because we simply like the makers and therefore, we even would like to support them to inherit the expert techniques to the next generation. There variety of artisans who make one and only items even in everyday lives nowadays, and what we have done with this issue is a sort of attempt to expand the concept of craftsmanship that we have had. It may be difficult to purchase them right now, but we believe it would be hopefully achievable, and definitely meaningful to do so someday in the future. www.instagram.com/popeye_magazine_official Tulip - Part of 4 Artworks for Group Exhibition and Book at Galerie SOON, October 2018, Bern Switzerland.
