Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp….a man whose art has influenced our world in so many ways. Making sense of Marcel Duchamp
is a very nice website explaining through flash a bit about his work. The depth of duchamp’s work is outstanding
and difficult to condense in a few pages, but this website does a good job of making it easier to understand…Visit the site then get a book.

Not As Good Looking

The great dissapointment…..Cayenne, Porche’s new SUV lacks the looks we all waited for.
On the engine department everything is taken care of in usual Porsche style…I’m not whining about that….

It’s the exterior…
The front-end has that unmistakable Porsche identity; it even looks like a turbo with over-sized wheels…
But everything is lost in the rear. And this from a maker of cars known for their outrageous backends.
It could be the rear-end of any car…hell, It looks like a BMW. No more excitement when a Porsche passes you by on the highway.

An Icon

I remember my first computer..(it was actually my dad’s!)..ahhh. An Apple Macintosh 512k…. Never used it much, though.
Macpaint and Flight Simulator were my favorite programs…
Enough has been said about its icons and WYSIWYG interface.Meet one the people behind it’s graphic interface….
I don’t use an Apple anymore, but I can still see the impact Susan Kare had on our everyday.

CONTACT collection

Presented at the Salone Satelite in 2002.
A study on minimal points of contact…

The corner table is currently in production by Banal Extra.

The highlight of it all: I was approached by a very stylish and charming old lady in the stand. She told me it was very original and well thought, and that she liked it…
I thanked her and didn’t think much; 2 minutes later a young man that accompanied her came back and said, “Just so you know, the lady you just talked to is Lisa Ponti, Gio’s daughter”.
Her comment was now greeted in new perspective because I’m a hardcore Gio Ponti fan! Cool.

The Bestseller

This is the final presentation for my masters degree in design from Domus Academy back in ’98.
The idea of the project was to design something that could be sold via mail or TV.
I took the challenge to the extreme an came up with The Bestseller, a book holder for your bed.

The design of the object is not the important thing. I wanted to convey a sense of uselessness
that most of the products sold on TV have.

It was recorded in one afternoon with no editing or post-production (quite obvious).
Only the sound was added later.
The model is another story, I took about 2 weeks to finish that!

I had loads of fun making it…
It was the last presentation of that year, and by the time it was shown people were tired of endless
slide presentations… Nobody was expecting something as shitty as this and it completely rocked the boat.
