Posted by Greg Weinstein | Filed under Art, Clothing, News
Louis Vuitton has worked for a long time now with Takashi Murakami and agency SET. Here we show you the first look at Designer QR Codes. which to date have been looking pretty boring. They are used in Asia mostly but they will eventually make it over seas. Detailed info on the flipside.
“QR Codes are the bar codes of the future, linking online and physical graphics to websites and multi-media. For the most part, the codes have still maintained an abstract look akin to their predecessors. A newly released designer QR symbol, produced by Tokyo based creative agency SET is looking to change all that with a stylized remake of the standard code. Mixing design with technological innovation, SET teamed up Takashi Murakami with Louis Vuitton to create a distinctive code featuring one of the artist’s characters and the classic LV pattern. The agency hopes this will add much needed style and character to the bland world of machine readable codes” Via PSFK, FAD.
