I suppose it’s not terribly surprising that superstar illustrator, Olaf Hajek lives in an understated but impeccably-stylish apartment in the heart of Berlin. (His apartment was featured in Freunde von Freuden back in October). Still, when I see how incredibly cool and multi-talented folks like Hajek are I have to remind myself to be inspired instead of just plain jealous!
Hajek’s apartment is stunning but I was struck by how stark it is in comparison to his rich and moody artwork (such as Fruits, below). But Olaf states, “My style is part naivety composed with sophistication” – a philosophy that is clearly inline with his work in illustration.
