INSPIRATION
The collection, designed by Alona Elkayam, is inspired by two progressive (and hyphenated) movements, hip-hop and mid-century modern. Think Charles Eames meets Biggie Smalls. Hip-hop culture is one of the most vibrant cultures ever created. The sounds, the colors, and the activism inspired communities around the world. Hip-hop created samples and sounds from the street and the heart, turning them into beats lead by powerful words.
Modernism in the 1960’s was a movement that artists, architects, and designers rewrote, revised, parodied and rejected the world around them. They were tired of the way things existed and felt everything had been done already and they wanted to create a new reality.
Far From Timid ties the intentions of both of these worlds–the words and rhythms of hip-hop and the art and geometry from modernism to create Street Modern.
ONE OF A KIND PATTERNS
All patterns have been created using original works of art created by Alona Elkayam. We guarantee that you will not find these patterns anywhere else except on Far From Timid products. The patterns are made from selections of a small area in original works of art. We then create the pattern from that small selection by vectorizing and then colorizing. See more here.
Far From Timid comes from a hook in Biggie Small's song Sky's The Limit.
