Ski In Ski Art

 

 

American ski and snowboard brand K2 has just launched the all-new Omen Ski Collection with Berlin-based artist Julia Schimautz for the winter 2025 season. The artist’s vibrant designs embody the spirit of the Omen Ski Collection, the twin-tip freestyle ski line that offers durability, performance, and a whole lot of fun for park, pipe, and street skiing.

Schimautz is a highly regarded graphic designer known for her bold colors and playful multi-disciplinary art forms. Her graphics for the Omen Ski Collection utilize risograph printing — a technique that blends elements of screen printing and photocopying, creating distinctive blurred shapes through intentional misalignments. Combining vintage aesthetics with the imperfections of printing processes, the result are one-of-a-kind vibrant graphics and a whole new look in ski design. Read More

Nike: Form Follows Motion

 

 

Now on view at the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany is Nike: Form Follows Motion, the first ever comprehensive museum exhibition about Nike. The show explores the company’s five-decade ascent from a grassroots start-up to a global phenomenon, with a focus on Nike’s design history: from the company’s beginnings in the 1960s and the design of its famous swoosh logo; to iconic products such as Air Max and Flyknit; and current research devoted to future materials and sustainability. The exhibition highlights how sport is a catalyst for both design innovation and social change, and also sheds light on the almost mythical devotion to sneakers and sportswear in popular culture.

Named after the Greek goddess of victory, Nike has become more than just a brand. It is a whole design culture. Products have been developed with a blend of scientific study, sports research, and aesthetic sensibility — from material engineering to biology to body mechanics. Athletes have played a uniquely influential role by bringing their own experiences and requirements into product development. Nike: Form Follows Motion offers a look behind the scenes of this design laboratory for the first time. Read More
