Stua Stories by Ami Kealoha

Stua drafted the video artist Javier Guerrero to create a series of short film installations that evoke the mood and tone of Stua's designs. The six stories, designed to run on four screens simultaneously, are open narratives that range from a diver's decision ("The Choice," pictured) to the suspenseful roadside burial of a corpse, aptly titled "Hitchcock revisited." Premiering at last year's Milan furniture fair, the collection is one of many collaborations with artists that Stua's undertaken in recent years, an approach that's in keeping with their commitment to high level aesthetics.

V for Vendetta Artwork Exhibition
Regardless of whether or not the Wachowski's forthcoming movie take on graphic novel V For Vendetta is any good, the promotional artwork is undoubtedly fantastic.

As part of the ten-day exhibition,...
Street Art 237
237 is an urban art project that started in Malaga, Spain. They supposedly have a website coming soon. Other than being incredibly cute, the little guys featured above are a direct reference to Hayao Miyazaki's animated film Princess Mononoke, where they're the tree spirits known as Kodama. From the looks of it, it seems they've left the forest and headed for Spain. I can't...
