ABOUT
SF Art Department is an Art Direction consultancy founded by Something Fantastic to spread ideas worth spreading. Born out of admiration for inspiring ideas, we enjoy dealing with subjects we think are important: resilience, nature, justice, communality, a certain posture, freedom, directness, simplicity, elegance. Our role often turns out to be an ambigious one between being a designer, an author, and an editor.
Clients, showcases and collaborators include the CCA, Artek, Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König, Strelka Press, The Museum of Modern Art, Vitra, Lacaton & Vassal, Ruby Press, The German Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia, The Living, Perret Schaad, Peter Swinnen, ETH Zurich, David Chipperfield Architects, Deutsches Architekturmuseum, The Onassis Foundation, Hatje Cantz, 51N4E, Museo de Arte de Rio, the Lafarge Holcim Foundation, Harvard University, Bureau N, Düsseldorfer Kunstverein, Arno Brandlhuber, City of Geneva.
