As part our Future/Craft campaign, we commissioned digital artists Alexa Sirbu and Lukas Vojir – otherwise known as XK Studio – to create a series of 3D illustrated films inspired by the idea of modern luxury. Using tools and techniques typically used to create high-end visual effects for film and TV, XK Studio’s mesmerising moving images emulate shapes, textures and materials that relate to the innovation vision and exquisite craftsmanship of luxury fashion and interior design. The abstract and immersive imagery provides a moment of escapism as colours and textures interplay inside a dynamic visual realm.
