First Look at André for Curated by Arkitip

Andre Zippers

Curated by Arkitip enters its fifth installment with products featuring the artistry of acclaimed Paris-based graffiti artist André. In the late 1980s, André’s signature “Mr. A” stick figure character became a cult Parisian symbol of the creative world, seen everywhere from city walls to high fashion magazines and collaborations.

The Andre 15” Sleeve pays homage to the artist-turned-entrepreneur’s lasting legacy, featuring custom co-branded zipper pulls with the distinctive “Mr. A” character that once proliferated the streets of Paris.

Curated by Arkitip Project Launches with KRINK

Incase and Arkitip are excited to officially launch the Curated by Arkitip project with the much-anticipated KRINK Sleeve, now available through the Incase web store, Arkitip, select Apple® retail and better boutiques.

Curated by Arkitip is an ongoing project designed for Incase aimed at delivering artistically embellished Apple®-based products to users who have an appreciation for the creative arts and technology. Artists are carefully chosen by Arkitip for dedication to their respective art forms and unique points of view.

“This project is a natural extension of what I do with Arkitip,” comments Sas, Arkitip Art Director. “We are giving artists a medium where they can be creative and gain exposure at the same time. Curated by Arkitip allows me to continue to work with artists that I respect and admire.”

First in the Curated by Arkitip series is the KRINK Sleeve, a limited-edition collaborative effort between Incase, Arkitip and artist KR (Craig Costello). KR is the creator of Krink, a line of handmade inks and markers fit for use in both street and studio environments. KR’s products gained notoriety through their association with his work in the street, the studio and his dripping ink aesthetics. Curated by Arkitip merges KR’s artistry with the Incase notebook sleeve, a signature piece within the Incase line, resulting in a refined version of the classic sleeve.

“The collaboration was born of mutual respect and a core belief in quality and innovation that applies to both design and art,” comments Damon Way, Incase Chief Brand Officer. “The sleeve, in effect, acts as a canvas or billboard for KR and other artists. KR’s design makes a bold statement on a very utilitarian object.”

The limited-edition KRINK Sleeve is available for MacBook and MacBook Pro 15″.

What We Listen to in The Office

Books and Tunes

Recently we converted an old MacBook into an office jukebox. We opened up file sharing, created a fancy Workflow script to automatically update iTunes and installed a really cool program called TuneConnect to control the jukebox remotely from our desks.

We also set up an Incase Last.fm account, so now you can check out what we’re listening to.

Add us as a friend on Last.fm, we’re interested to see what our fans like to listen to.
