After the click, you will experience an all new version of defringe.com. We´ve changed and added look and functions. The whole user interface is not what you were used to in the old version. Defringe TV, where you can sit back and shuffle through featured videos, is all new. A lot of things behind the scenes have changed, things that some of you won’t even notice.
There are some interesting posts coming up in the near future, so be sure to check back regularly. Feel free to share your opinion of the new version via Facebook or Twitter.
Welcome to the new defringe.com

What is a brand without its recognizable colours? An iconic shape. Have a good look at the all white painted items by Andrew Miller. He removed all visual branding, reducing the object to its purest form. He purchased each object for less than $10, or it can be something that he owns, another person gives him, or something he finds.
In a celebration of some of 2011′s most newsworthy events, Munich’s Chaos Crew Tattoo Studio created a massive poster that shows the true art of tattooing by using a large piece of calfskin. By using the skin instead of creating an image and transferring the work to paper, the integrity of the original piece of art remains intact…
The Deskbox is a practical small table/cabinet that is hung onto a wall and it is ideal for settings where there is little space available for furniture. It is an elegant small work place, which is excellent for working on a laptop for instance, and it can be retracted to form a closed box, half the size of the table top.
A lot of illustrated (pixelated) cameras pass in this video. Amongst them are classics as well as modern ones. If you have a bit of camera knowledge, you’ll definitely reckognize some.
The ‘Trashcam Project’ transforms dumpsters into traveling pinhole cameras that roll around the city of Hamburg. The images are breathtaking: slightly vague black-and-white city drama. Would you believe that these beautiful photos were taken from inside the dirtiest objects on the city streets?
Kidnap Kid recently released this video for Vehl. The sound is very pleasing from the first time you hear it. Somewhere in the grey area between different genres, Kidnap Kid produced a very catchy tone. Concerning the very well produced video, as stated in the description: “The video concept references a modern dystopian battle of the sexes inspired by Godard’s classic feature film ‘Alphaville’.” Aha. Enjoy this stunning black and white video.
Vom Bleiben documents the moment in which the night at the techno club is over and the visitors have left the location. It is the moment in which the traces of the event become visible. The cleaning-lights illuminating the room evoke a sense of awakening in the visitors. When the clubs close at daytime, Andre and Daniel enter their rooms and the battlefield that has been left behind.
There are certain iconic figures in pop culture that can be defined simply by their hair. In this minimalist series by graphic designer Patrícia Póvoa, we see some of these legendary coifs that need no introduction. The silhouetted hairstyles stand alone against a radiantly colored backdrop in the Portuguese artist’s series titled Copyrighted Famous Hairs.
The idea of a website where the overload of creative material on the internet would be filtered, aroused in late 2010. Not a renewing idea on itself, but Defringe is different. Defringe stands for quality and that results in the intuitive, comprehensive and award-winning layout.
You might ask yourself what Defringe means. It is a feature in Adobe Photoshop [ Layer > Matting > Defringe ] and literally means: “Blends the pixels along the edge of a selection to seamlessly merge it with a new background”. This sentence captures the essence of the website. Out of hundreds of posts, only the best appear: the ones that fit seamlessly into Defringe’s vision. Our slogan complements the essence: “Cleaning up the edges”. We chop off the raw edges, leaving a clean and neat outcome.
Because of the extraordinary elegance of Defringe, we can’t stay behind in social networks. Facebook and Twitter are essential in our (creative) lives these days. Make sure you follow or like Defringe, so that you are the first one to know about spectacular new posts.
