When Berlin-based designer Gilbert Schneider was young, his parents took him to an Andy Warhol exhibition in Italy. The exhibition fascinated him. Bright, bold colours covered large prints on the gallery walls and the two-dimensional consumerist aesthetic that we’ve come to know Warhol by struck Gilbert. “I still have the catalogue of that exhibition at home,” Gilbert tells It’s Nice That. Besides that exhibition, he attributed his budding interest in graphic design to his father’s jazz record collection and Rot-Händl cigarette advertising stickers.
