Ideology & Approach

Ideology & Approach

He is exploring various approaches to create new contexts where design goes beyond being a functional tool for decoration. Instead, it becomes a means of storytelling, creating meanings, building communities, and shifting worldviews.

With a strong belief that design is more than just visuals, Artem sees it as a way of thinking. Design is a framework that one uses to research context, structure information, and create a vision.

The main criteria for “good” design are its relevance to the context and the integrity of the vision, that means that all elements should align and match the context of each other.

Artem also believes that designers should strive to create projects that can influence contemporary visual culture. Design has the power to change the way people perceive the world, not only at the global brand level but also at the local level.

Projects for everyday life, cultural institutions, and research projects play an important role in the practice of Non-Objective, as they broaden people’s perspectives of modern culture. By collaborating with these partners, the studio aims to subtly introduce new viewpoints. Altering the visual environment can also influence worldviews.
