Michele Pellegrino - Una parabola fotografica

/ exhibition design /

The photographic exhibition is about Michele Pellegrino's work and has the particularity of being introduced by Cesare Pavese quotes. These texts are focused on a symbolic vision of human existence, common theme in Pellegrino's work. 
The graphic project focuses on this literary juxtapposition and takes visual inspiration from Italian editorial masterpieces: Bruno Munari squares (designed for Einaudi, Pavese’s publisher) and Simoncini Garamond are rearranged in a grid that seems both an editorial layout and a photographic frame.
The project highlights the thematic sections, giving visual relevance to the literary quotes that introduce the pictures. 

July 19 - September 30, 2018
Complesso monumentale di San Francesco, Cuneo 
Curated by Vincenzo Biffi Gentili and promoted by Fondazione CRC

Come si dice pattern in italiano?

/ pattern design /

A selection of some emerging visual artists finds its home in Milan during Design Week, in a project by Italianism (Renato Fontana) and Lago. Come si dice pattern in italiano? is an exhibition that dresses two locations with a selection of 41 patterns.
I've been asked together with Francesca Infantino to design one of the four special artworks dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci, in response to LAGO’s invitation to look beyond, drawing inspiration from the insatiable curiosity of the genius himself. And here's our Flying Man, inspired by the flight and the studies Leonardo did on the parachute.

 

In the same exhibition all the artworks designed for Italianism's Pattern Matters will become wallpapers and flyers to pick up freely. So come and take home my Patternittico, too. 
Find them all at Appartamento Lago and Casa Lago during Milano Design Week 2018, in Brera District.

MYT - Mallora Yacht Technologies

/   logo design   /   identity design  /

MYT is a spanish company specialized in the design and installation of custom and innovative onboard systems for cruising and racing superyachts, headquartered in Palma de Mallorca, one of the Mediterranean’s most important nautical hubs. 
The identity takes ideas from one of the typical graphic elements related to boating: the nautical flags. The three capital letters have been represented as if they were three flags, using blue and gray as colors referring to the sea and construction. Starting from these modules, patterns and icons have been designed to enrich the necessary deliverables.

Designed in collaboration with TODO
