Three65 Launches Online Media!

// Welcome to Three65 Design

Three65 Design emerged from the desire to establish an online forum examining current architectural and design culture.

As part of the launch Three65 have designed a series of promotional items that explore the studio’s love of typography & graphics.

All promotional material is double-sided featuring a crisp white & recycled box-board material. All promotional material features simple monochromatic calendars either monthly or for larger format designs a yearly calendar.
The branding products feature a minimalist black & white typographical font.

Patchworks Present the ‘TravelDator’

// Speed Dating Made Cool

Patchworks have provided a speed dating service with a difference.

The event took place in an underground travelator that joins Sydney’s Collage St (Hyde Park) with the Domain Carpark.

No more awkward conversations in static environments across restaurant tables with bad dates. Why not take dating outdoors into our urban environment. Where interaction with strangers/potential lovers is perhaps more tolerable. If it all goes pear-shaped simply keep on walking, after all you may actually be catching a bus or heading to work.

The Sugarmill

//  Where Beach Culture and High Fashion find Homage

Typically the northern beaches is synonymous with laid back surfers, hippies and creative types.

As a local designer, Three65 Design was fascinated to come across a sleek marketing flyer from The Sugarmillbranded as ‘A Fine Surf Emporium.

It is no surprise that surf fashion has built its brand through the image-making of beach culture and lifestyle, however the creative group at ‘Sugarmill’ have cultivated a new ‘cool’ integrating  a fusion of arts and high-end street fashion all under the seductive guise of creating culture.  There is a clear appreciation for the finer things in life ( just refer to the labelling of a ‘Fine Surf Emporium’) where common surf culture has made it’s way to boutique products and branding. One can even grab an amazingly refined coffee of Single Origin Rosters by renowned barrista Matt Chojnacki where all coffee profits support the projects of Misfit Aid.


Through connecting with the community ‘The Sugarmill’ have forged a hub for creative types from vast design disciplines. A successful example of grassroots promotion at its best: cool + ethical. The Sugarmill asserts that ‘it is all about representing and housing the works of those that are leading the pack in redefining a culture and generation’.

‘Architects take note! ‘

The Write Bike

// Bikes with Personality

Three65 Design hold a deep appreciation for typography and couldn’t help but showcase Swiss Art Director Juri Zaech‘s quirky bike concept. The now Paris based Zaech is currently working to produce a working prototype of these ‘name-frame-bikes’.

You can ride solo or as a duo!

Three 65 Design will be watching closely for any new developments.

In a place like Sydney where bike riders are a minority these cool designs would provide a novel approach to all commuters when current public transport is in a state of permanent crisis.

Mass-production

// Profile: Artist An Te Liu

The taiwanese architect and artist An Te Liu works inherently explore the aesthetic of mass-produced commercial and urban design forms.

Three65 design are advocates of generating built form through sustainable methods. The work ‘Cloud I-II’ by  An Te Liu highlights the short life-span of today’s consumer products. The work ‘Cloud II” is comprised of seventy six air purifiers hanging from the ceiling that bear uncanny resemblance to the sci-fi architecture depicted in films. The installation piece also references the modernist apartment blocks of Le Corbusier where purity and cleanliness were underlying design agendas.

The art piece prompts Three65 design to consider  the air we artificially breathe, how we live with it, and how we might really clean it {or not}.

The fact that we use air conditioners to purify our air through machines is a provocative  and fundamental inquiry.

Cloud II, 2009. {Air purifiers, ionizers, sterilizers, washers, humidifiers, ozone air cleaners; 76 units running continuously.}

For more recent work check out An Te Liu’s site specific installation ‘Title Deed’ 2009 a life-size Monopoly house built as a monument to the credit crunch.

Matthias Heiderich

// Urban Photography with Flair

Three65 Design couldn’t go past the compositionally superb work of Berlin based freelance photographer Matthias Heiderich

The photographs are sublime modernist depictions of urban landscapes. The bold colours and architecturally framed works almost appear hyper-real.

//Perhaps the best method to articulate the beauty of the work is to show a slice of the collection:

The following images are from Heiderich’s recent work
‘Meanwhile, back in Berlin’ & ISO 3ERLIN 2010

Majority of the work is for $$$. If you’re interested contact massju@weirdandwired.net.

Affordable art never looked so good!

Wall Art by Metroplastique

//Art in Action

The Parisian duo Supakitch and Koralie {METROPLASTIQUE} are street artists who have documented their art through the creative process of making.

Both heavily influenced by japanese art, the short film depicts the artist’s in the act, the act of creation! The film both a documentary and artistic piece in it’s own right is hypnotic and gestural.

There is something captivating about observing the art literally emerge from the screen.
