In 2016, Chanel commissioned Ill-Studio to give their take on one of their most iconic perfume, Chanel Bleu. The video, featuring the voice of French actor Gaspard Ulliel, shows a perfume bottle warped. This came as a reference to our previous film Twisted Objects.

Through this new court, Ill-Studio and Stephane Ashpool explore the representation of sport as a dominant idea within the beauty of an era from Classicism to Futurism.
The design establishes visual parallels between the Past, Present and Future of modernity, from Roman Antiquity to an interpretation of the future aesthetics of basketball and sport in general.

This film directed by Ill-Studio for Soulwax treats the title “Do You Want To Get Into Trouble” through the spectrum of adolescent life and its numerous aspects such as body image, attraction for risk, sex, new technologies, emotional change, sub-culture and rebellion.
The film stars French actor Phénix Brossard.
British TV institution Channel 4 gave Ill-Studio carte blanche to direct a short film for their summer programming in 2016.
The short film sees a man walk through the city of Berlin carrying a found rectangular mirror on his way home. While the identity of the man is never revealed, only what he sees is reflected back to the viewer alternating from the neoclassicism of historical buildings to the brutalism of the DDR era, and the postmodernism that followed the unification of Germany.
