Strange and surreal illustrations combine collage with a hint of Dali-esque style

This surreal series of collage illustrations is by Dave Hänggi, a designer and illustrator from Berlin, Germany. Born and raised in Switzerland, he started working as a designer in 2005, for a branding agency in Zurich.

Written By:
Two hands holding red ping pong paddles with headless figures in grey jackets, with Earth floating above against a mint green background

After a year in advertising and some freelance work, he moved to Berlin in 2013, where he joined branding agency Realgestalt. Whilst working there as an Art Director, he won numerous accolades, including the Red Dot Design Award, IF Design Award and the German Design Award.

In 2015, he started producing illustrations for the Mercedes-Benz magazine, and is now working as a designer and freelance illustrator. We're big fans of his Dali-esque style.
