Where new design goes to blossom and lost design goes to live again.

paper covered instruments

The superman designer Kyle Bean has taken a whole lot of time to cover up a bunch of instruments with paper. Each little bit of every instrument covered collage/wallpaper style with sheet music. Along with that, a few suitcases covered with maps. All this and color accents made for UK high fashion and luxury store Hermès. In the windows through the beginning of 2010. After that I think he should send that guitar to me!

Craftsmanship. Super music covered instruments! I wonder if they still work? This sort of work reminds me of designer/artist Shepard Fairey and his collage background fine art pieces (a couple of which are also included in the gallery below.) It’s a fabulous practice, reusing printed material for new art projects, especially all of theses items in this particular post, all of which will far outlive the usefulness that any of the paper scraps they employ would have. –Keep those trash heaps low!

Music manuscript covered instruments and map covered suitcases to complete window displays across the country.
