Michele Pellegrino - Una parabola fotografica

July 19, 2018

/ 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.

Michele Pellegrino - Una parabola fotografica

Come si dice pattern in italiano?

April 19, 2018

/ 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.

Artieri Fantastici

September 24, 2016

/ art direction / exhibition identity / editorial design /

The three-year project Il cuNeo Gotico was created to claim a little known architectural supremacy in Cuneo: the presence of relevant neo-gothic and neo-medieval monuments. Artieri Fantastici is an exhibition dedicated to applied arts related to Cuneo, and with the Compagnons du Tour de France as representatives of a venerable and esoteric craftmanship tradition.

Exhibition curated by Enzo Biffi Gentili (MIAAO, Torino) and sponsored by Fondazione CRC.

Medieval gargoyles and a deep blue for Artieri fantastici, with its collection of artifacts, artistic objects and illustrations, with the manufacture as common theme.

The three exhibit sections (Hommage au Compagnonnage, Sette cappelle per sette sorelle and Quattro fantastici artieri del tratto) have been designed so to be easily recognized, thanks to colours and backgrounds used in the graphic panels.

Exhibition graphic system designed in collaboration with Francesca Infantino.
