Eyes on me.
Walking in Barcelona, all around me, asking, shouting, offering, crying, desperate, questioning, menacing. All these people living onto the walls in a sort of bidimensional second life, but each of them with a moving story to tell.
GorgeWool
Marcella Peluffo is a talented illustrator which happened to meet wool while her son was doing his homework for visual art school. She fell in love with it and started to spend all her nights wool drawing. She told me about her looking for wool just to glue on paper and not knitting, just inventing [...]
Design by happiness. Stefan Sagmeister.
Dear Stefan, when you started your talk in Barcelona and you asked how much happy we were, I was feeling very happy. Because I was there, you were there, we had a very good Adce board meeting and very nice time and discussions in our jury Integration & Innovation. Because outside it was raining while [...]

Universe in a glass of wine, by Richard Feynman
All life is fermentation, expecially mine;-) Universe in a glass of wine, a talk by Richard Feynman. You may agree, you may disagree but I really liked his The pleasure of finding things out where science meets daily life taken from his interview at BBC in 1981. Isn’t it the pleasure of finding things out, [...]
A chocoholic project
Hung for real? No photoshop? I like this project very much, when we’re starting printing food, and decoration is becoming more and more industrial and accessible. Thousands of cake designers are now sharing thousands of pictures where macarons or wedding cakes come out of fairy tales. Boring isn’t it? But here all the project is [...]
Unidentified flying objects by Manon Wethly
I came through this work and asked Manon to have it on Gorgelous. Manon is a designer who likes taking pictures of flying objects. She writes on www.clique-chique.com “This will be my playground. The pixelplace where I will share the little experiments, the tiny fragments of a bigger picture, maybe I will even give you [...]

BLUE K. Io c’ero.
Ci sono delle volte in cui è bello esserci. E io c’ero il 18 aprile alla galleria e concept store Rossmut in via dei Vascellari 33. In abito da sera alle sette del pomeriggio. Un evento per me (l’abito da sera alle sette di pomeriggio) più unico che raro. Per la performance dedicata a Yves Klein da Piero [...]
The future of food
They say we’ll print our food. Yes obviously we will. That’s a matter of taste then. There was an article on Dezeen Magazine about the next frontiers of 3D printing and we will speak a lot about it in the future. Let’s then publish this paper work by ZIM&ZOU used to realize a cover of ICON Magazine (“The [...]

Chocolate Love Story
I bought this book in New York, mainly for the graphic, the colours, the approach to food. I like the graphic design of it, recipes are interpreted like fairy tales. After reading the book I went on the web and plunged in Max Brenner philosophy… The only think I would like now is to dip [...]

Anche io oggi ho deciso di riciclare qualcosa, ho deciso di riciclare i post del mio amico Michele perché il suo blog [...]
The impossible veggie burger
via 6thfloor.blogs.nytimes.com Some times food styling is even more complicated than ever. To get this cover of a self standing veggie burger they had to proceed by trials and errors. Using bendable wires and toothpicks to add and subtract items to get the right composition. Anyway I like the drawing so much, I would have liked [...]

The bread experience
How much food do we throw away every day? Why not recycling it in our daily lives giving food a new function? Even making a table out of it then? These bread structures were part of a “bread experience” created by Gosia and Tomek Rygalik at the Vienna Design Week Laboratory. People had to eat from bread [...]
