Cedea Glass Bottled Mineral Water

Cedea

The Cedea water design is inspired by the Ladin Dolomites and the legends about the natural light phenomenon Enrosadira. Caused by their unique mineral, the Dolomites light up in a reddish, burning hue at sunrise and sunset, lending the scenery a magic ambience. By “resembling the legendary magic Garden of Roses”, the Cedea packaging aims to capture this very moment. The result is a glass bottle making the water glare and flare to surprising effect. The colors of the bottle are meant to resemble the special glow of the Dolomites bathed in the mineral’s rose red and the blue of the sky.

Il Mosnel QdE 2012 Sparkling Wine Label and Pack

Il Mosnel QdE 2012

Just as the Iseo Lake splashes on the banks of Franciacorta, so the sparkling wine wets the sides of a glass. The concept is a graphic re-elaboration of the shape of the lake and expresses all the power of a Reserve bottle being poured into a crystal glass. An elegant and lively label, balanced in its graphics and colors, is a daring solution with transparent polypropylene and entirely hot foil gold printing to give new sensations. The pouring out of the wine is underlined on the box, where the graphics wraps around the pack: simple and impactful composed by two “slive et tiroir” elements.

Clive Cosmetics Packaging

Clive

The concept of Clive cosmetics packaging was born to be different. Jonathan did not just want to create another brand of cosmetics with common products. Determined to explore more sensitivity and a little more than he believes in terms of personal care, he addresses one main goal. The balance between body and mind. With Hawaiian inspired design, the combination of tropical leaves, the tonality of the sea, and the tactile experience of the packages provide the sensation of relaxation and peace. This combination makes it possible to bring the experience of that place to the design.

Optics and Chromatics Exhibition poster

Optics and Chromatics

The title Optics and Chromatic refers to the debate between Goethe and Newton on the nature of colors. This debate is represented by the clash of the two letter-form compositions: one is calculated, geometric, with sharp contours, the other relies on the impressionistic play of colorful shadows. In 2014 this design served as the cover for Pantone Plus Series Artist Covers.

Black Milk Packaging

Black Milk

Black Milk is a packaging design for a milk liqueur. The box has two sides with two different designs, one black and one white. When the black side faces the viewer, the white part of the bottle is seen. When the white side is shown, the black part of the bottle becomes the main tone. Cow spots form the main graphic element, and the shapes are repeated on the box and on the glass bottle. The box is made of matte natural paper, and the lid is made of wood with a silver metal ring. Pulling the ring lifts the bottle out of the box.
