Vianina

Vianina is the creative product of German designer Nina Wilsmann’s inspiration. Her illustrated city maps give our fond memories a happy new home. Would her way of looking at places be available in Google Maps, we think they would call it “Heart View”. Her objective was to render the peculiar perception of a child from the country side visiting the city for the very first time. The city that seems gigantic, very detailed and expressive, and that happily rushes towards you, out of proportion, almost magically and somehow even quite bizarre. And although it was not her initial intention, people often see her work as a critic to the abstracting Google mapping of the world of today. A warmly welcomed side-effect that invites us to look at the world through our own eyes, with childlike amazement.
