A black inflatable sofa fully inflated, with a sleek, angular design. The surface is a special military material originally developed for military boats. The glossy surface reflects soft studio lighting against a dark gradient background.

The same black inflatable sofa shown deflated and collapsed, lying flat on a white surface with soft shadows and a dark gradient backdrop.

This thing made us think about why humans feel drawn to military aesthetics. No judgment — just an interesting question. Friedrich Schiller connected the beautiful with human morality, arguing that beauty is freedom in appearance. Special Op’s Sofa: developed by David Kaltenbach and Reidar Mester.

An artwork depicting a pointed hood made from red fabric, resembling a Ku Klux Klan hood. The fabric appears patchworked, with visible seams and stitching. The phrase 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN' is embroidered in white text on the front, and a small American flag patch is sewn near the bottom. The background is solid black, emphasizing the striking contrast and symbolism of the piece.

This thing made us think about the power of recontextualization, and how things serve as symbols. The Hate Hat by Kate Kretz is made from deconstructed MAGA hats. We were amazed by Kretz’s visionary sense, as the work dates back to 2019. We’re currently trying to convince her to do an interview.
