Our latest collection of Gift Kits draws on our long-standing reverence for the cinema, which has influenced everything from the formulation of certain Aesop products to the design of many of our spaces. Take for instance Breathless, a hydrating body oil named after a certain New Wave masterpiece, or our stores designed in partnership with Luca Guadagnino—to name but a couple of examples.
Featured in a series of cinematic vignettes—as screened below—these aromatic offerings comprise an all-star-cast of formulations for the skin, senses and surrounds, housed in boxes that carry richly hued designs inspired by aged celluloid film.

NEW ART 2024: ‘DNA CIGAR BOX’ emerges as an assemblage narrative, a chromatic chronicle etched within my familie's DNA timeline.
‘DNA CIGAR BOX’ series, is a testament to the myriad intersections of my ancestral tapestry, which spans a staggering 500,000 to 80,000 years across 33 geographic coordinates. This artwork is a declaration that the constructs of race and orientation are but ephemeral notions, rooted in the flawed ideologies of pseudo-science, as once propagated by Sir Francis Galton (Father of Eugenics).
As a citizen of the world, my genetic mosaic reflects every inhabited continent, a testament to the shared lineage of humanity. ‘DNA CIGAR BOX’ delves into the intricate web of my origins, tracing back half a million years to the cradle of my earliest ancestors. It is a revelation of familial sagas marked by migration, Silk Road Travels, conflict, ‘Papal: Doctrine of Discovery’, the rise of Nation States, ‘1864-1865 Berlin Conference’, colonization, and enslavement—a tapestry woven with threads of obscured truths.
This visual odyssey, born from my scholarly pursuit during graduate studies, challenges the divisive and reductive labels society imposes on us. It is an exploration of the social constructs that seek to confine our collective human potential. ‘DNA CIGAR BOX’ unveils a wealth of personal histories, embracing a spectrum of identities and fostering newfound connections in defiance of arbitrary boundaries. It is a celebration of the boundless nature of our existence, an invitation to discover the infinite facets of our being and identities.
Finally, through my extensive academic research on Eugenics and Epigenetics, I have finally found a way to identify myself that reflects my extensive DNA history: I am a GLOBAL CITIZEN!

🎥 Lens choice matters! 📚 'Understanding Exposure' by Bryan Peterson explains how different lenses affect the look of your shots.
Wide-angle lenses can capture more of the environment, while telephoto lenses are great for close-ups and detail shots.
Choose the right lens to match your video’s mood and style. #trapcarproduction#mytrapcar#musicvideo
Sprinkles!? 🍨
For businesses, you may not think about the many risks you face when it comes to litigation and often times common sense.
As you read through this interesting claim situation, one key takeaway is this:
🔎Be sure to evaluate what claims of safety, success, or health outcomes can be achieved from your product or service - and how you promote them.
Whether you’re promoting the safety of your property in brochures, the results from using your product on the label, or one of the services you might consider on your website (because you thought it would help attract customers) - these can be used against you in a potential claim situation. Even if you don’t feel liable.
Remember the McDonald’s hot coffee lawsuit? ☕️

A man who says he broke his ankle jumping into the sprinkle pool at the Museum of Ice Cream in New York City has filed a lawsuit alleging that the facility was negligent for not warning visitors that it is unsafe to jump into the sprinkle pool. https://lnkd.in/gYxB2f7i
We are big fans of Polish cinema posters, and Anna Huskowa’s Dumbo (1961) is a beautiful example of the Signal to Noise principle in action. By honing in on Dumbo’s oversized ears and wide, innocent eyes, the poster conveys a sense of wonder and vulnerability with minimal design. The absence of unnecessary detail allows viewers to connect with Dumbo’s essence immediately, making the emotional impact even stronger.
This approach to design—focusing on what matters most and cutting through the noise—speaks to the power of simplicity. At We Are Cognitive, we believe that when the signal is clear, the message resonates.
How do you bring focus to your designs?
