“Track and Field: Drawing from the Arena” is a series of photographs by Cassandra Jones. She actually still shoots with 35mm film and that’s how she can make these multiple exposure photos, some of them are exposed up to 8 times!

The 5.5 Designers were inspired by Roland-Garros when they designed “3 Sets”. The names of the 3 objects are of course tennis related. The stool is called BREAK and was corded by the official Roland-Garros official cordeur Laurent Lucas. The decanter and glasses are called ACE, they look like the typical tubes where you store your tennis balls in. The last item is the 15-30 BOARD which is a homage to the mythical scores board in Paris.

This is nice TV spot for the Nike Lab; the idea isn’t that groundbreaking, but the execution is excellent.
