Carton Can!

Carton Can is a 2010 project, a trash can made by folded cardboard displaying ads printed all around. Shaped like a cylinder, it’s composed by 4 modules containing different waste materials: paper, metals, glass and plastic. It has a short life-cycle, like advertising campaigns, and it’s totally recyclable.
It keeps environment clean in a cool way!

Buggies

Long long time ago there were some cars made just for fun, no other explanation than fun. During the early 1970s a bunch of crazy people decided to transform normal vehicles into “beach/desert bugs”. Youngsters don’t even know what I’m talking about, it was back then, when safety and security issues were not important at all and the world was rather different than today. I took inspiration from these strange four wheeled “things” and in the early 2000s I made a mockup scaled 1:10 of a similar concept: a car intended for fun but with a real cockpit that could accommodate 2 passengers meeting safety standards taken for granted nowadays.Here it is!

How about Maserati?

I made these freehand sketches nearly 15 years ago at a time when Maserati was starting over and gradually regaining his lost popularity -especially in strategic markets like the US- I was inspired by some classic models and put my idea on paper, well, electronic paper.. I use only WACOM tablets.

A Wooden Coffee Cup

Made in waterproofed wood with Zamak alloy handle. This 6 piece coffee cup set, with 6 differently shaped handles in the same block, is one of a kind! I bet you haven’t seen anything so cool among kitchen wares before.

Vedovallegra, the spider from Mars

Vedovallegra is a living room table with adjustable legs, something like a spider, it can change its height and, in his mouth, magazines or other little objects can be hided. Zoomorphism is a central point in the last two decades of design.

Sfera: A space oddity in kitchen

Back in the early 2000s, Sfera is a teapot that resemble everything but a teapot in fact. If it’s true that “form follows function”, we have to admit that when everyone has 3 times as many objects as he needs, some of them could be a little less functional just to be much more decorative. My principle is: A product of design is first of all a sign: it conveys a meaning.

Redbull Helmet

Back in 2009.. This was a graphic project I submitted to the Dovidesign contest held by Redbull for a helmet livery to be used by the MotoGP racer Andrea Dovizioso. I tried to put on opposite sides flames and waves: the two most powerful forces of this planet.
