Big-Game: Plus is More by Ami Kealoha

Swiss designers Big-Game got some love in Milan for their latest collection called "Plus is More" and we thought it deserved a closer look.

Taking the premise that "fashion is a means of communication," the Swiss Apparel sweatshirt features a basic conversation guide for the four official Swiss languages, French, German, Italian and Romansh, printed on its sleeve.

We like how the Bold Chair mimics the design of a paperclip, but it also has removable sock-like sleeving.

Hybrid design that mixes in art, fashion, etc. is everywhere these days, but there's something irresistible about a rug that doubles as a toy freeway. Miles, as it's called, comes with three wooden toy cars.
