Design and art are good friends. 🤝
Our designs are often inspired by some of the greatest artworks. Also, their main goal is to be functional, to have a purpose. When it comes to art, it doesn't have to be functional. It's purpose can be art by itself, beauty, skill, capability of transferring emotions to others.

Art can be intriguing, it can ask a lot of questions. Design is functional, it has an objective and it provides answers.

But what do those two have in common?
Both of them carry a message. 📩 Both are expressions of creativity. 🖍And they are both innovative. 💡
