]]>But at least for some of us, snow can provide the perfect excuse for some outdoor fun. Most recently, we’ve been inspired by Sonja Hinrichsen’s art project, Snow Drawings. Using snow as her canvas, Hinrichsen creates intricate patterns that can only be fully appreciated from above.
“From the ground, it’s not possible to see it all, because the area is flat, especially if we are working on a lake,” explained the artist in an interview with My Modern Met. “There is no way to get a perspective of the piece.”
Wearing snowshoes, each piece is created by Hinrichsen, as well as local volunteers, which she guides through the landscape. The process itself relies on intuition and group work, as Hinrichsen plows through the snow.
“It’s very intuitive, meaning that it happens in the moment, in the process,” she relayed, stressing that the snow drawings are never preconceived or sketched out beforehand. “There’s no pre-designed scene that I’m laying out on the snow,” says Hinrichsen. “I don’t make a drawing on a sheet of paper or on the computer and transfer it onto the snow.”
And while the end result is impressive, it isn’t meant to last. Ephemeral by design, Hinrichsen explains she isn’t interested in creating lasting artworks in a world that is already swamped with man-made objects. Take a look at some of her snowy creations in the gallery below.

]]>Since 2012, Rains has set out to rethink the quality of rainwear. Co-founded by Daniel Brix and Philip Lotko, the two are greatly influenced by their Scandinavian heritage, with their brand practicing an uncompromising approach to simplicity that is as equally rooted in functionality as it is in relevance.
“Our product DNA is classic but innovative and we are always searching for new ways of developing the brand – that’s our constant motivation and inspiration,” Lotko told Flaunt. “The Scandinavian design DNA is in almost everything we do – that’s why keeping designs simple and functional is key for us.”
Based on an initiative to reinterpret the traditional rubber raincoat in a novel way, Rains launched with just one product: a poncho. The season after, they had a full collection of waterproof apparel, bags, and accessories. Each collection provides a mix of revitalized designs from rainwear archives and original rainwear solutions.
Here are some raincoats you’d want to snag for yourself:
