No Image No Message Martijn Sandberg and BK-Fabrics designed the interior of Pizzart's art cafe in Fribourg (Switzerland). The new design is based on existing structures, such as the tiled walls and the narrow, oblong shape of the space itself. By implementing tiles as a typesetting for a textual image within an architectural construction, BK-Fabrics and Sandberg have managed to create a hybrid form of interior design and incorporated graffiti. The cafe's visitors not only enter a bar, they enter an artwork. Floor, ceiling, counter and two long tables are integrated in one single construction: a long strip of tiles that forms a continuous loop. To the attentive eye, the black and white tiles will disclose their hidden meaning: 'No Image No Message'. Click here to view or download a PDF of text in Dutch.
