How Art can be applied to daily life

When I was in Graphic Design major as an undergrad, I learned from my peers and professors when it came to the question "How art can be applied to daily life", we would pretty much answer in unity, "Well, it is used in TV commercials, editorial layouts (magazines, newspaper, posters, ads, brochure, postcards, stationary, product packages...etc.), DVD selection platforms (where you select the language and subtitles), album cover, book cover, illustration, banners, window displays.....almost everything you see in life can be design-related, and that means, they are related to art."

After all, design is a much more modern approach that branches out from the traditional art category.

Now, there is another type of art that I have not thought of before, but when I read about these two graphic designers from DPI Magazine, I instantly feel that what they are doing is another wonderful approach that combines art and design together!

The two artists, Ariel Aguilera & Andrea Benyi, have a studio called Pandarosa Art & Design. They expanded their visual approach from graphics to exhibition, installation, animation, and interior based designs. Personally, I'm very surprised to see that graphic design can be applied in an interior that enhances the whole look and feel of that space.

Here are several images from their website, which I truly admire!
