:: Interaction design ::
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..2008
Stormraiser is an installation thought for parties at the Magazzini del Sale, a large waterside warehouse in Venice. The interaction is caused by people’s excitement: the more they dance the more the environment changes. Moving people create a kind of storm inside the room that grows proportionally to the number of involved individuals. This storm would not be only visual, but one could also feel it on the skin. Everyone can interact with the system through a bracelet given at the entrance. the bracelet communicates your movements to the central system (mainframe) which activates fans and lights, that move and illuminate the fabric sky. What you get is a whole disco set changing proportionally to the people excitement.

Team project (with Marina Camara and Ivan Provenzale) to design a mobile service for improvised satiric sketches in the streets of Venice. We designed and prototyped an application to help people discuss and arrange ‘out of nowhere’ public performances on contemporary issues. (Iuav, IxD lab by Gillian Crampton Smith and Philip Tabor)

Zac
This project is almost a concept. It borns from the analysis about home appliance. It is a non-elettric vegetable and fruit cutter. You can easily and very fast cut ingredients you need. Easy to clean, easy to use. Colud seems inappropriate to project a non electric object for a course called “electronic object design” but, behind the concept there is a big reserch about needs and existing object. The qestion I tried to answer was “do I need something really complicated and expensive to do this?”… ZAC! (IUAV, Design dei prodotti elettronici, Bruce Fifield, Olga Barmine)

Topo di casa
“Topo di casa” is a little hoover that, as a mause, came out from his lair when you’re outside, and clean the house. For this project I studied how it will work (wich sensor it needs, wich battery, wich motors, display, how much tide) and how all components fit toghether (dimensionally, funtionally) and how the user will interact with it. (IUAV, Automatica, Umberto Isoli & Processi tecnologici e sistemi di produzione, Roberto Groppetti)

Waiting for…
Waiting for is a kind of seat for bus-stop, to put where there is not space enough for a bus shelter. The only brief we had for this project was to use heterogeneous polymer: a plolymer made with a random mix of different recycled plastics. This material has nowaday many chemical problems that’s why I create an object that stay outside. (IUAV, Lab. design per i modelli di sviluppo locale, prof. Gaddo Morpurgo, in collaborazione con Area)

Tivy
Tivy is a structure made for Catering services. The aim of this project is to create a nice and functinal project with cheap materials. The result is a kind of ivy of plastic dishes (leaf) and glass (flowers). (IUAV, Lab design dei materiali, Denis Santachiara)

Tira & Tela
The brief for this project was to build a cheap bookcase. This project seems really simple, and it is, in the way you use it, but the flexibilty of the shape is guaranteed by a phisical principle: the rotatory moment. The metal hook works thanks the elastic supports that produces two forces in different direction and make it really easy to move it in different palce of the metal grid. It’s relly playfull! (team with Riccardo Perello, Politecnico di Torino, Disegno industriale 3, prof. Maccarrone)

Pattuminiera
Pattuminiera is one of my favourite works. It is an ironic project using art-sculpture as waste bin for separate collection of rubbish in public spaces. It’s an object for the urban furinture and at the same time could be a piece of puplic art. (Strate College, Luxury project, Sophie Le Chat)
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Hug
Hug is a babybag. This object was born from the melange of two kind of babyag: trekking one and afro-babybag.(Strate College, Design du Produit course by Pierre Guerrier)
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..2004
Team project (with Riccardo Perello) to design a new object born from the aim of two different brand. We choosed Apple and Nike and create a new generation iPod for runners and travellers. (Strate College, Design du Produit course by Pierre Guerrier)

Pluff
Pluff is a kind of tissue seat born mixing indian and occidental way of life. It’s elegant but at the same time informal. It’s made of poliuretan musse of different density covered by silk. The shape is a metaphor of the egg: you can use it open or closed. (team with Vincent Scatliffe, Strate College, Luxury project, Sophie Le Chat)
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..2003
Pluvia
Umbrella is one of my first project. It’s really unsophisticated but I like it for its semplicity. I like the way we came to this concept: it borns from a transposition of an object from its common use to another completely different. An Umbralla with somechange became a portable clothes hanger. Easy to use becouse of the logical connection with the current use. (team with Adriana Uccelli & Chiara Onida, Politecnico di Torino, Disegno industirale 2, prof. Bruno Giardino)
