MAKE YOU OWN MASK BOX With this Pandemic affecting all of us around the world, QUAD studio would like to take time to look at useful design products we can all use in this Coronavirus Pandemic. Hence, we have the “MASK BOX” ……. The rationale behind the “MASK BOX” is quite simple. From time to time, and for whatever reason people need to take off their face mask during the day. This contraption allows the mask to be suspended away from any surface when not in use. The following is a quick exercise on how to make the “MASK BOX” : Download the following A3 template and print out on 165g A3 card paper
Note: Ordinary paper is 80g so this need to be at least twice as thick as normal paper. 
How to use
 Now the mask is suspended ready to be used at any time during the day. The MASK BOX for you to try out yourself.
Anyway, whatever is going on around us and wherever you are, take care and be safe!

The event is a selling exhibition that showcases the compelling works By Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Marking the two legendary masters’ first joint exhibition in China.
There are few artists who become true legends, and fewer legends who forge legendary friendships. Immortalized in art history is the epochal pairing between two of the late twentieth century's greatest and most influential artists, Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Lasting for six years from 1982 until Warhol's death in 1987, the deep, complex and symbiotic friendship was mutually inspiring for the two artists, whose highly distinctive oeuvres have each become eternally emblazoned within the highest echelons of fine art. In honour of these two extraordinary and intertwined lives,
Sotheby's is privileged to present LEGENDS: WARHOL/BASQUIAT, a selling exhibition featuring compelling works by the two artists in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Juxtaposing Warhol's polished pop aesthetic against Basquiat's singular raw expressionism, the specially curated selection powerfully captures the dynamic magic of 1980s New York.

But how about hearing wonder? Dimension Plus introduce: Oreo Vinyl!
Dimension Plus created an Oreo that plays music by replacing the classic embossing with grooves on the cookies surface that work as a vinyl record. We placed these music embossed Oreos in special Oreo Music Packs. Each cookie in the pack plays the Oreo anthem in a different musical style bringing wonder to their ears.  Borrowing the concept and mechanics of vinyl record, the data on the cookie is embossed with a mod which is made with laser cutting and engraving technique. And we wrote a program to transform the music into a pattern. After that, we make it into a laser-engraving friendly format and produce the mod for the Oreo Vinyl production.
