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.

Wozzup Mutazionidinterni Design

Decidedly untraditional, Wozzup Mutazionidinterni is the refreshing exception to this rule. Former set designer Luca Porcelli and Maurizio Duranti, an ex-graphic designer, founded Wozzup in 2007. They work and exhibit their furniture, paintings and objects...
