This collection of helmet art is the work of Nuno Henriques and his boutique brand Hello Cousteau. Nuno is an accomplished interior designer and avid motorcyclist who discovered that he couldn’t find a helmet design that he really liked – everything was either way too modern and garish, or too retro.
Nuno began applying his own designs to pre-existing helmets, and posting them to Instagram. They took off in popularity and he’s now produced dozens of unique designs, he’s constantly being inundated with requests from people who want to know how to buy one of his trademark lids – so he’s hoping that a helmet manufacturer will step forward for a production run.
