Zù

Zu was designed during the Laboratory by Isao Hosoe, with my group EBiEmme, composed of me, Elisabetta Spissu and Marcello Ricco. It takes inspiration from fractal, a geometric concept studied by Mandelbrot and still used today for try to give a rule a seemingly chaotic phenomena.

Zu consists of seven elements, all of the same shape but of different proportions, each of which is retained within the larger one. Each element can be used individually or be a unique form with others, thanks to presence of two handles that lock full extraction and that their semi, have the potential to be snodabile in both ways and then to assume different conformations.

It can be used as a divider of space, as toys for children, to build temporary seating or to sit astride using the near element as little table..

Seven Capital Vices

This animation we made with Adobe After Effects during the Laboratory Moving by Nicolò Ceccarelli, in the first year’s Design Course, with Michela Anedda and Sabrina Melis. The project consisted in the realization of a short film communicates the theme through the animation of the subjects by some works art which was associated with one of the seven vices.

The concept of the project was then told through the Lego Mindstorm software. We made the cake, on which we placed the apples, the whole theme of the animation and each symbol of a vice, a snake and the earthly paradise with Adam and Eve.

This is a video with the mindstorm in function…

Chill-Oh

With my group basamimami, in the course of Interaction design by Yaniv Steiner during the first year of my studies, I realized CHILL-OH. This is a controller designed and built, to replace the computer keyboard, too heavy and forced to unnatural movements in the game “Frets on Fire.” Here you can see an image that represents it.
