Do basics have to be dull and boring? Our answer is no. However, as we are moving towards a more sustainable wardrobe we find it crucial to invest in pieces that are multifunctional. Pieces that you can wear in different weather conditions, that are not depending on trends but rather pieces you can wear for a long time. And don't forget to add a pinch of colour now and then.

Say Hej to Filip Rahim Hansson

Filip Rahim Hansson is a Swedish artist based in Malmö. He works with paintings and sculptures through mixed media techniques in order to challenge the limited structures of society. Through colours and a naivistic way of expression. Filip's artwork surprises in the streets of Malmö, his customized t-shirts and hats gives anyone a happy day.

Connecting colourful, unexpected art with  humour is very Waldraud-like. That's why we asked Filip to collaborate with us and together we are now launching this Art Print Edition of 6 A2 Prints.

Waldraud - who are you?
 
Filip Rahim Hansson - I am a survivor, which I think is an important quality if you want to survive as an artist. On my path, I have chosen to take liberties that suit my personality instead of adapting to everyone else's expectations. Even though you sometimes dream of being able to have a regular job, I know that I would have felt so bad about it. I still know that no road is straight - That's simply how I am.

 Artwork in the streets of Malmö by Filip Rahim Hansson

Waldraud - What inspires you?
 
Filip Rahim Hansson - I am inspired by the insight into the opportunities and conditions I actually have. The struggle to survive or move forward in life. Dedication to big goals and sticking to them is something that I think is a nice part life.

Waldraud - Your biggest source of inspiration?
 
Filip Rahim Hansson - My water polo coach Berne is my biggest source of inspiration, with his steady drive and commitment, giving everyone a chance to be involved and despite adversity ensures that things happen both in the local club but also on a national level.

Meditation has also helped throughout my adult hood starting out during my early teens. Since a few years back, I have been meditating regularly according to a classical Buddhist technique (vipassana) and I have to say that a big part of my analysis of the world around me is based on the attitude that everything is perishable.

Painting or creation is usually not what I'm talking about but everything around it. My creation becomes a reflection of everything that passes and takes a turn through myself. Often completely without any meaning for the moment but everything has a connection - but how important is that? Anyhow, very often a connection appears during meditations and binds it together as a whole. Sometimes it starts the other way around what I want to describe or share. There are no definite or preconceived rules about either life itself or my creation. 

Waldraud - What is important to you? 

Filip Rahim Hansson - The most important thing for me is to feel the joy of the freedom to do what I feel for. To be able to create something and go back one step and be able to shake your head and smile at it with the thought of “what is this”. That feeling of joy and lightness is very important to me, something that I want or hope to be able to share with others through my creation. I think the day I stop feeling it, I also stop making art.

Meet the Founder Behind Senscommon

Senscommon produces lifestyle clothing and accessories that fit seamlessly into urban life. The Dutch label blends function with the haute-couture design expertise of founder Laura Silinska. After studying fashion design in Paris, she worked for Alexis Mabille and Viktor&Rolf. Laura designs in 3D, draping around the body or a specific lifestyle need.

Who are you?
Laura, founder and designer of Senscommon.

What is your passion?
I'm a material nerd, passionate by science behind fibres, materials and the ideas of utility in uniform dressing.

What is the aim of your brand?
My preoccupation is to build a timeless range of clothing that caters to well-being which is why I get easily carried away in researching social behaviour trends, technology and innovation in general, always looking out for science that can improve the products I design.

What about sustainability?
Sustainability and innovation go hand in hand in our fabric selection process, further building our reputation in cutting-edge use of smart materials. We use fabrics not for their aesthetic value but for their performance attributes. In our process, we constantly rely on new technologies as well as sourcing manufacturers know-how to optimise existing techniques to customer needs. Longevity of our products is not an option but a characteristic integrated through the use of smart materials featuring self-purifying qualities, utilitarian durability or displaying a low-maintenance profile.

At Senscommon, garment recycling is taken into account from the design phase. Since clothes made of fibre blends, fabric mix or having garment applications (print, embroidery) make quality care and recycling extremely difficult to nearly impossible, we try to use only strong enough to stand alone mono-fibres and mono-materials. Recycling can go a long way in sustainability, though we went even further by striving towards 100% usage of biodegradable fibres, like merino wool or Tencel™, to name a few. 

What do you love the most about your job?
The research and ideation phase is what I love the most about what I do. And I cannot be happier when customers reveal that the clothes I designed are the most intuitive and smart garment they have ever owned...

Vasili Lights - How to Assemble the Jellyfish Lantern

Vasili Lights' lampshades are papercraft designs, which are fun and easy to assemble at home. Each lamp is delivered as a flat-pack with handy instructions, so you can make each lamp in no time. Inspired by the Nordic seaside and the oceans’ many bioluminescent creatures, Amsterdam-based design studio co-founded by Vasili Popov and Lidiya Koloyarskaya create paper craft lampshades in the shape of aquatic animals.

 In cooperation with Rankellfoto, photographer Jessica Rankell tried her luck to assemble the Jellyfish Lantern by Vasili Lights. While doing this, she shot some beautiful images of the assembly process. It looks like Jessica did a pretty good job putting together the lampshade. Her insight about the assembly process "...take breaks, refill your coffee cup and enjoy the moment. Practice patience while creating a beautiful lampshade..."

The Jellyfish Lantern consists of 13 pre-cut perforated templates made of strong and durable paper, along with step-by-step instructions. In order to make the assembly process straightforward and pleasant, the edges and flaps are numbered.  

Glue together the edges and flaps with a UHU All Purpose Adhesive or a regular Wood Glue (PVA-based).

Jessica and her Jelly Fish Lantern "It gives me a cosy light, a stunning interior detail but also a mindful break."

The Jellyfish DIY lampshade is just one big highlight for any room or space. The lampshade will fit around an existing ceiling light bulb (LED only). Cord set and bulb are not included.
