With FLIP LIFE flip lettering designed in homage to the great director Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece “The Shining.” Inspired by the film’s classic scenes to reflect the terror in our hearts: like the carpet with circles of the Overlook Hotel’s corridors; the unnervingly neat orange red of the hotel bar’s restroom; the maze from which there is no escape… these all represent all kinds of fears within us, but only by facing them courageously can we flip our life.

立即查看FLIPPIE RUNNER is an abbreviation of “Flip Hippie Runner,” suggesting the kind of people who always stay positive, optimistic and progressive in any situation. The inspiration for the font design is mainly drawn from the Bauhaus school that originated with architect Walter Gropius, who in 1919 founded the Staatliches Bauhaus (National Bauhaus art school) in Germany. In German, “Bau” means building, and “Haus” means house. He sought a new organization of designers for a creative concept that did away with overly ornate architecture in favor of a practical and functional aesthetic. With this utopian ideal, Bauhaus flipped the way the world defined aesthetics, and the school continues to influence architecture, art, industrial design and even fashion until today.

BROWSE在愛爾蘭的傳說中,凱爾特人視三葉草為聖物,象徵生命力源源不絕。 我們將三葉草的形狀不規則且融合遍佈在襪子上,同時又以四個不一樣的編織方式去代表大英國協的四個國家,顏色靈感來自凱爾特人的綠色,而代表日耳曼人的咖啡色則是黑、紅、黃三色的混和。此產品開發難度極高,就好像不同民族文化需要幾千年的磨合,才能找到現今和睦共處的方法。襪子翻轉後,用對比色的手法與主色系相呼應,意思是指雖然不一定每個種族都能夠認同彼此,但相互尊重、包容才是人類進化成真文明的根本。
