A door with no road leading up to it, with lights and

the night creating an isolated atmosphere, the photo

is not only about the serenity in San Salvi, but also

a reminder of similar forgotten corners in the world.

ReplenishMedia digital print | 70 x 50 cm

The illusion of time is represented in these six images.

As water fills the bottle, it becomes the medium

of time. Therefore, time fills the space. I chose to

present time in the most simplistic of ways by only

changing the amount of water in the bottle.

Ironically, this piece gave me the ability to control time,

even though I lack a good sense of time in my daily life.

Municipality of Gaiole in Chianti Town Logo Design

Using minimalist language, I wanted to represent the

essence of Gaiole, introducing their two most important

symbols – the river (water) in blue and wine in red.

The two are held by a green outlined box, to symbolize

their care for nature. Because of simplicity of execution,

I added the name of the town in a simple sans serif font.

Municipality of Gaiole in Chianti Town Logo Design

In this design solution, I wanted to represent the tradition

of Gaiole through its roots, combined with the modernity

of the town through a modern G and sustainable principles

through the use of the color green. The balance between the

two colors represents the balance in the Gaiole lifestyle.

Vinicollina Tesini WineryWine Label Design

My concept is designed to give

personality to the two prosecco

products while keeping them

connected to one another for the

consumer to easily recognize the

relationship between the two labels.

The names of the prosecco

are handwritten with a brush

stroke to represent elegance,

edginess, and exclusivity.

Vinicollina Tesini WineryWine Label Design

During project research, we noticed that the

female market has great potential in the U.S.

“Lila” reminded me of an elegant woman.

The label helps to communicate elegance to

the customer who consumes this product.

And where there’s an elegant woman, we can

imagine a gentleman to accompany her.

Fa’brio sounds like a man’s name, you can almost

imagine him sipping the prosecco with a smile.

Commuter Cruet

The balsamic container inside is held

in place slightly higher in the center

of the oil by a removable support

ring, which sits f irmly in the notched

rim of the oil container. The balsamic

held in the center allows for the

screw on lid to create a tight seal

around the balsamic for the oil to

flow around keeping the two liquids

apart. The shape of the balsamic

vinegar container is an abstracted

form of the traditional balsamic

bottle, and achieved by a injection

stretch blow mold technique. This

technique allows for the sculptural

shape of both containers with a

sustainable medium of Eastman.

Girandola

“Girandola”, which means pinwheel

in Italian, was the inspiration for the

shape and concept of the containers.

Girandola is the ultimate container for

eating on-the-go. Made with a BPA-free,

insulated copolyester plastic, it is durable,

light, and easy to wash. There are three

different sizes of modular containers that

can be easily assembled and organized to

hold food for two to six people.

Each container has a lid and fits into

each other, and secured with a system of

rods and pegs that locks for maximum

guarantee of no leaking. The triangular

containers rotate around the central rod,

allowing many dishes to be accessed at

one time. To unlock the system, the handle

is pushed down and rotated 90 degrees

counter-clockwise and pulled up.

Neon - A new glass experience

The Neon is a series of glasses for a party setting. The series is composed of

f ive different kinds of glasses where each one of them is specific to a type

of alcoholic drink. These drinks include wine, beer, whiskey, champagne,

and cocktails. The glasses are composed of two pieces. The inner part of

the key feature of the product that identifies with the drink. The outer

piece has a generic shape, which helps emphasize the use of the glass.

As a reinforcement of such an idea, the use of color becomes very

important within the design. There are six colors used, each one for each

of the classes. Five of the colors are warm and range between yellow and

the red. The sixth color is turquoise, which was applied to the cocktail

glass. The use and combination of two pieces to compose each of the

glasses identified the product as sustainble. This is the case because

the inner and outer piece can be “unsnappped” apart and recycled

separately depending on the color and composition of the material.

The Neon is composed of acrylic glass from

PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate).

Onda

ONDA is a disposable party plate

made of eco-friendly, fast-growing

bamboo and sugarcane waste (usually

a byproduct and discarded).

This material allows for an extremely

thin product that can be recycled

and used as compost. The product

is lightweight, sturdy, and multi-

functional. There are several grip

areas for the ease and comfort of

the user as well as a compartment

for utensils, cup holder, two sides

for food and one main food area.

Not only is ONDA sustainable and

highly functional, it is aesthetically

pleasing with an organic shape

made by 6 curved compartments

that meet a single plane.

1910 Revolucion Mexicana

A restaurant with rustic Mexican food, a place created to be

inspired for people who want to be free and rebellious in their

own way. A place that besides offering you traditional homemade

food, with prices compatible with the student budget.

It ’s a place that also characterizes the concept itself.

A place to come with friends, know more about the Mexican

revolution and revolutions around the world.

A comfortable place to have unwind with great food and drinks, to

enjoy an aperitivo. The target is for students and young professionals.

The decor of the place is original, with long communal tables, rustic

but comfortable furniture. Information is integrated to the tablecloth

(in a creative and artistic way, the Mexican Revolution is featured in

black and white) while music and large photo illustrations linked to the

historic period with music provide a social message to the public.

Come Home

The driving concept behind Come

Home is the fusion of Italian location

and culture, and the fresh, versatile

taste and culture of Thailand

into one cohesive pace. The materials

used within the restaurant reflect

mid-century modern Italian design.

Some of these materials include

exposed brick, patterned tile,

mid-century modern furniture

used for seating, and exposed

storage. The use of exposed storage

is an organizational and design-

related choice that is relevant

both in Italian and Thai design.
