Introducing Rostarr for Curated by Arkitip

For the ninth installment of Curated by Arkitip, artist Romon Kimin Yang, aka Rostarr, explores human nature via a series of geometric paintings applied to Incase’s signature protective cases. Available today, the Rostarr capsule collection for Curated by Arkitip treats Incase products as a vessel for delivering original Rostarr artwork with a range that includes a 15″ Protective Sleeve, Book Jacket for iPad 2 and Snap Case for iPhone 4.

Rostarr for Curated by Arkitip features original artistry inspired by the 2009 Tour de France through which the artist explores the nature of competition between individuals, the energy and emotion of the race as it happens and, ultimately, the reward. The series of polymorphic paintings combines hard architectural lines with a soft palette of grey and a pop of orange, exemplifying a visual language Rostarr calls “Graphysics,” which characterizes the geometric dynamism found in his work.

Check out the video on the Rostarr project for an inside look at the artist’s creative process.

José Parlá

For the eighth installment of Curated by Arkitip, artist José Parlá documents his experiences in calligraphic and palimpsestic code using our signature protective cases. Available today, the José Parlá capsule collection for Curated by Arkitip features original Parlá artwork applied to the 15″ MacBook Pro Sleeve and Convertible Book Jacket for iPad, both of which are constructed of premium pebbled leather, as well as the Slider Case for iPhone 4.

Available Now: José Parlá for Curated by Arkitip

For the eighth installment of Curated by Arkitip, artist José Parlá documents his experiences in calligraphic and palimpsestic code using our signature protective cases. Available today, the José Parlá capsule collection for Curated by Arkitip features original Parlá artwork applied to the 15″ MacBook Pro Sleeve and Convertible Book Jacket for iPad, both of which are constructed of premium pebbled leather, as well as the Slider Case for iPhone 4.

According to Parlá, “the Incase and Arkitip Curated project is interesting to me because it is a way to incorporate the artist’s story into an art object that is accessible to a global audience.”

Featuring three distinct pieces of Parlá’s imagery—Lost Horizon, Li-Jiang and Miami Writers Circa 1986—the Curated by Arkitip collection serves as textually chronicled memories. The original markings appear on backdrops that resemble the distressed surfaces he encounters and the cosmetic results of passed time: city walls marred from layers of paint, old posters and years of neglect. They have now been transcribed onto protective cases for Apple devices in the spirit of communicating Parlá’s art through the lens of mobile product.

“As a friend and personal fan of his work, it has been a real honor to work with José in the context of Incase and our Curated by Arkitip program. I am extremely proud of the result as we were able to explore new territory with premium materials, artistic embellishment and unique packaging,” said Damon Way, Incase Chief Brand Officer. “I’m pleased to have the opportunity to offer such creative and memorable products to the Incase audience.”

The José Parlá products for Curated by Arkitip are available now in our webstore, arkitip.com and discerning boutiques worldwide.

Designed to fit up to a 13″ MacBook Pro, the notebook sleeve features an all-over safety pin graphic, a signature emblem of uniform experiment, and is available now exclusively through our webstore in the United States and via Apple, honeyee.com and uniform experiment in Japan.
