Gli Experimenti / 1

It is heartwarming when brief encounters concretize into projects or - better in our case - experiments.
GLI EXPERIMENTI exhibition is a remix of our past project and a new take on our creative attitude. Our installations were organized into 5 areas/values: Heritage; Union of Opposites; Analogy; Chain Reaction; Metamorphic, blended into Giulia's house furniture.

Out Of Place - Powerful Plants

Conceptual styling work for PLANTS OUT OF PLACE project, directed by Coloni & Studio Aikieu - London Design Festival 2015. 

They called us to action on the concept that a weed is a plant out of place, undesirable because out of human control.

Out Of Place - Making Of

We share with you some backstage pictures of our contribution for the project Plants Out of Place, directed by Studio Aikieu (UK) and Coloni (Sweden) and launched at the recent London Design Festival 2015.

The collective project seeks to engage with the wider communities to re-consider the value of wild plants and how we may utilise them to design for a better future.

Cities & Eyes

We wish you a very happy Christmas time and a hopeful NEW year!
Love, M + C + S / SF

"It is the mood of the beholder which gives the city of Zemrude its form. If you go by whistling, your nose a-tilt behind the whistle, you will know it from below: window sills, flapping curtains, fountains. If you walk along hanging your head , your nails dug into the palms of your hands, your gaze will be held on the ground, in the gutters, the manhole covers, the fish scales, wastepaper.

Lab

Free & fun shooting for friends: styling of Trivets (Lineasette Ceramiche) and Strangelove bowl (Maroso). Design: AUT + Chiara Onida.

Optimus Illusions

A relatively old project: our optical illusion for OPTIMUS book by Bolo Paper. Are the birds inside or outside of the cage? We flipped our brains with a mix of 2D and 3D elements.

Oxydo Couvette

(Quite old pics of) a design and craft project in the context of the rebranding of Oxydo glasses (2013) - commissioned by Pomo Studio.

We deep researched on the materiality of colour, exploring its conceptual and visual organizations in historical colour charts, scientific diagrams and material colour swatches.

Fondamenta 3.0 / Identity

Our design for the event and exhibition Fondamenta 3.0 - La Sensa (31st May 2014) composed by poster, card, map, website, signage, decoration and set-up elements. This was the 2nd edition of the Venetian public art event that transforms the space of Fondamenta della Misericordia in an interactive playground, involving diverse artists and associations.

SPECIMEN - Personal Exhibition

Very excited about SPECIMEN - our very first personal exhibition at Galleria Van Der in Turin, opened June 12th.
We decided to underline the common creative process behind our diverse projects.

Across Chinese Cities - Party !

We worked at the party at the unique Paradiso Perduto for the opening of Across Chinese Cities - Beijing, collateral event of 14th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia. This big project is a collaboration between Beijing Design Week and Dontstop architettura (curators: Michele Brunello and Beatrice Lanza).
