Milano Space Makers
Our most prestigious projects include the branding and art direction for MEET Digital Culture Center and GeCA Geoportale della Cultura Alimentare. We also curated the rebranding for Abet Laminati, the visual identity for PdiPigna, the wayfinding for Tortona Rocks and Assolombarda and the editorial design for Twils and Linvisibile catalogues.
Our design method is based on the search for substantial and formal meaning. We work with letters, words, forms and photographs to create essential stories and expressive images.
We collaborate with photographers, illustrators and digital developers. We often work with other designers or art directors, making specific contributions to multidisciplinary projects.
We strongly believe in human relationships and in the development of an open dialogue with clients to better understand their needs and objectives, to create unique and appropriate visual stories together.
