We are glad to collaborate with “The Bolted Book facsimile: an exact copy of Depero Futurista”, a project in order to reprint the Bolted Book as it appeared in its original form and return this resonant piece of design history to the present. Gianluca’s original research on the Bolted Book has been used for the accompanying reader guide and for the Kickstarter campaign. Have a look and spread the voice!
Project partners: CIMA — Center for Italian Modern Art, MART — Museo di arte moderna e contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto and Designers & Books.
Spi—draw has eight legs, exactly like a spider, but it’s a drawing tool to play and experiment holding up to 8 felt-tip pens at the same time.
The project has been presented at the LUNA Lunga notte della ricerca / Lange Nacht der Forschung!!!
This year we had the pleasure of curating the educational program of Aiap —Italian Association for Visual Design.
Many thanks to Cinzia Ferrara, Carla Palladino and to all designers involved in the event line-up: Kasper-Florio, Milimbo, Marco Goran Romano, Luca Barcellona, Tommaso Gentile. To get further information and subscription click here.

Progetto grafico #29 is hot from the press with the article “the imagined client” written by Gianluca Camillini and Jonathan Pierini.
-
In this article we introduce the figure of the imagined client as a way of examining various areas of graphic design and seeing how the monolithic and traditionally accepted designer-client relationship has today taken on a new form. The imagined client is a character to whom we can give an identity. It is the client as we imagine them, the client we want but also a client that you cannot and no longer want to define a client: the public, your partner in crime or in need.
