Low-poly art had a moment in the early 2010s before fading into background noise β€” a victim of overexposure. Timothy J. Reynolds is one of the artists who elevated it beyond a passing style into something with genuine staying power. His faceted animals aren’t geometric exercises; they have personality and warmth that most flat design never quite manages. Years later, these pieces hold up in a way that a lot of era-defining digital art simply doesn’t.

Loving these geometric, faceted creatures (and scenes) by artistΒ Timothy J. Reynolds. His work is for sale on Society6 as prints, pillows, phone cases and more. Can’t get enough of that Woolly Mammoth!

Located in Gwanggyo, just outside of Seoul, this new department store has a remarkable, jeweled-looking facade that stands out from just about any other building design we can think of.

While we don’t find the snaking, 3D facade particularly beautiful, it is a fascinating design choice, breaking the clean, rectilinear lines with something faceted, expressive, and unique.

The view from inside is more impressive, as the glass gives visitors a view both up and out, creating almost a greenhouse like effect.
