The new stars of design

We live in interesting times, and the output of our creative talent reflects that. For a long time, boundaries between the disciplines have been blurring, with fashion, illustration, music, design and interiors mingling. The new generation of commercial artists won't even entertain a boundary and, consequently, their work has a vibrant, experimental feel to it. Nobody knows what to expect, and that's a very good thing.

The individuals collected here embody this spirit. Their work is fresh and full of ideas, but most of all it's their enthusiasm that catches the imagination. Every one of them wants to collaborate, to mix media, to explore and to invent. But this kind of attitude is rare because it carries risk with it. And we all know where poorly handled risk leads, don't we? Without it, however, we stagnate. Faced with an uncertain world, you can either hide under your duvet or get out there and throw yourself into living.
