Takt

/   logo design  /   identity design  /

Takt is an innovative company producing the best marble together with a tailor-made design, spanning from classical to modern. The identity focuses on the concept expressed by the name itself: the touch. The symbol represents two surfaces in contact, metaphor both of the process that gives life to the material, and of the contact with the surface texture.

Artieri Fantastici

/   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.
