Luigi Serafini

Codex Seraphinianus

This book is further out than far out. It’s an illustrated encyclopedia of an imaginary world, created by the Italian artist, architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini. It’s around 360 pages long (depending on edition) and written in a completely unintelligible alphabet. The book is comprised of copious hand-drawn colored-pencil illustrations, of bizarre and fantastical flora, fauna, anatomies, fashions, and foods. It’s a fervent, phantasmagorical, feast of fantasy.

Another Viking ship prow bottle opener.
I stopped trying to do anything in replication of authentic Viking era stuff a long time ago… Honestly I think it’s senseless to do so since its 2014 and I want the things I make to be unique in their own right. After all what we make today will some day be the findings of yesterday.
New-Norse style I’ll call it!
