The project is channeled through Netstl.es, where you can purchase these limited edition pieces.

Hypnotic Edge – Bjoern Ewers

By Patternbank On July 8, 2012 · In Inspiration

Patternbank are loving Berlin-based Photographer Bjoern Ewers. We were stunned by some of his latest creations and the team wanted to share. Three highlights from Studio314 include: his hypnotizing colorful soap bubble photographs entitled ‘Orbital’, ‘Crash’ a powerful study of crumpled foil and ‘Memento-Mori’ a macabre set of dead or dying florals. Which reminded Patternbank of our Dark Bloom trend that we highlighted in the A/W 2012 catwalk print trend report.
