The art captures the blend of multidimensional visuals through the forms of colored glass contrasted with black metal materials. The two contribute their creative expertise as Cushing is known for her graphic stylings in bespoke colored glass. On the other hand, Sparey is a metalwork artist. All of the artwork are one-off designs and are made from [powder-coated steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/between-the-lightness-and-the-darkness). These are done in either a black tone or an off-white tone with mica accents and dichroic kiln-created glass. The two are currently working on new colorways and designs to launch in late February next year.
