Cut, Collaged, Coastal Magic

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada

Kautzi Illustrations proves cardboard boxes deserve a second life. German-born designer Patrizia traded Berlin for Cape Breton and now creates every illustration by hand, cutting, taping, and piecing together cardboard before adding color digitally. The rough edges, tape marks, and little imperfections don't get edited out. They're invited to stay. The result is bold, coastal artwork with equal parts European design, Atlantic charm, and "I should probably book that trip."
