Knolling is a wonderfullysatisfying photographytechnique that involves lining things up to create the perfect image.
This style of photography involves arranging similar objects in a parallel manner or at 90-degrees in an organised way.
The result is often incredibly satisfying and somewhat beautiful. It’s become quite a trend in recent years, so we’ve collected some of our favourites for you to enjoy.
On your bike
We love this simple view of an old-school bicycle blown apart and spread out in a joyful knolling.
The tools used are also included in the image and make for a really nice addition with spanners getting smaller and smaller in the most satisfying way.
Toasty toast
Like one of those many images you’ve probably already seen online asking how you like your food cooked, this knolling features toast of varying brownness.
We’re fairly sure the house would have burnt down by the time the last one was made.
Brilliantly black
A very modern knolling view of things most of us have in our pockets or about our person.
Car keys, phone, watch, loose change, wallet and more. All are neatly arranged and brilliantly photographed.
Roborock H7 vacuum cleaner
When reviewing theRoborock H7 vacuum cleaner, Pocket-lint’s former associate editor Dan Grabham created this fantastic image using all the included parts of the vacuum. Neatly aligned for us all to enjoy.
Everyday essentials
This image shows the everyday essentials of Jae S. Min, a designer from the Volkswagen Group of America.
This photo was a selection of all the things he used for his day job back in 2013. Tablets, notebooks and even some caffeine, all these things helped this designer get through his day.
Volkswagen Golf in pieces
You may well have seen this image before, but it’s no less awesome no matter how many times you see it. At least in our minds anyway.
All the parts of the VW Golf were removed and displayed in a fantastic knolling fashion.
Wonderfully white knolling
In 2012, American watch and accessories brand Nixon released a collection of white products including a watch, headphones, iPhone case and more.
This image shows the range alongside a mixer and Technics turntable. Fantastic knolling for a product launch in our opinion.
A deconstructed typewriter
When their typewriter needed cleaning, Tinned Thumbs went one step further and took the entire thing apart.
The resulting image is brilliantly satisfying and shows a cracking view of all the tiny parts of this old-fashioned machine.
Retro consoles
What better tribute to the history of gaming than this photo of various awesome but now archaic consoles. Brilliantly presented and wonderfully arranged byJim Golden.
Gamer/photographer
Roccois a content creator forgaming gear brand Razerand Redbull gaming.
As you’d expect, he’s got some pretty awesome gear to carry out both his job and his hobbies. Phones, drones, camera gear and a multitude of lenses make for an excellent knolling it seems.
