Looking for inspiration? I’m talkin’ intense color combinations, superb styling, and amazing photography. Look no further than ANONA. Simply put, ANONA is a Philadelphia-based boutique print design studio that offers seasonal curated print collections for the apparel and home decor industries. In plainspeak, this means that the artists at ANONA specialize in hand-drawn and hand-painted artwork for a variety of aesthetics and even have the ability to create original artwork for special requests. These prints could be featured on anything from a printed blouse to an embroidered pillow.
Project #3, the series you see here, is inspired by origami. The studio printed their original designs onto paper and then folded each print into sculptural objects which were then photographed and digitally manipulated. The result is an amazingly rich visual story. I love their balance of rich color and dense abstract patterning, while also offering simple geometrics and cute, hand-drawn insect prints. The sculptural aspect of each image takes ANONA’s work beyond simply being print-based and makes them a true force in the creative world.
