The Socarrat

A selection of what inspired us recently
and occasional updates from the studio.

Project Starline by Google

During this year’s Google I/O event, the company showed its latest technology concept: a ‘magic’ window that helps people feel like they’re physically together in the same space, even when they’re far apart. The technology concept combines advanced hardware and software to enable a life-size 3D FaceTime session with your family or friends.

The interactive website shows how five locations around the globe could look soon, together with resources on how to take action.

Artist Em Emem fills streets with mosaics

The anonymous Lyon-based artist quite literally fills the streets of France with beautiful mosaics. Any damaged wall, pothole, or crack in the asphalt becomes a canvas for the sidewalk poet – as he calls himself.

Willicroft

Parmesan, Gouda, or Manchego – we love cheese! 🧀 However, cheese production takes a heavy toll on our planet. We’ve worked with Willicroft, an Amsterdam-based brand that makes plant-based cheese, to create their upcoming website. Combining their roots in dairy farming and a passion for the planet, they know how to make delicious vegan cheeses without sacrificing taste or texture.

Our newsletter is named after the roasted layer on the bottom of the pan of a good paella, the socarrat. A delicious and crunchy bite that makes the traditional dish just that little bit better. We hope that our digestable selection of inspiring finds and updates adds a similar touch to your day. From our screen to yours.
