Untitled Media digital print | 60 x 42 cm 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.

Replenish Media 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 Winery Wine 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 Winery Wine 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 firmly 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 five 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 multifunctional. 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 designrelated choice that is relevant both in Italian and Thai design.
