Arkitip Collaborates with InCase and HunterGatherer

Monday, June 29th, 2009

One of my favorite design/animation collectives around, HunterGatherer (comprised of Todd St. John and Gary Benzel) is teaming up with art and design periodical Arkitip and bag maker InCase to collaborate on some products.  They are releasing an i-phone case and a lap top case with HunterGatherer’s infamous wood grain pattern on it.  In Cases’s blog also posted a really interesting video with interviews from both of them explaining why they chose their wood grain pattern for these products.

Check out the link with the video, and keep an eye out for this interesting collaboration.
