Back in 2021, right after the pandemic lockdowns, we worked on the exhibition design, catalogue and posters for the first milanese exhibit entirely dedicated to Piet Mondrian. The exhibition took place at the Mudec Museo followed the Dutch artist through the artistic evolutionary process that led him from figuration to abstraction.
Back in 2006 when data visualization was yet not a trend, Italo Lupi, editor of Abitare magazine, commissioned us the Atlas of Design and the Atlas of Architecture: two unconventional diagrams telling the story of Italian Design and Architecture during the last 50 years of the 1900s. The two pamphlets are folded and attached to the magazine. Data have been edited by two professors from Politecnico di Milano: Prof. Fulvio Irace and Prof. Giampiero Bosoni. #italolupi #diagram #infographic #2006 #atlas #pamphlet #design #datavisualization

Design Narrativo is one of the most popular and appreciated strands of design, capable of conquering a transversal audience with its ironic and fun forms. Studio FM milano oversaw the graphic design of this iconic volume. Accompanied by a rich photographic apparatus, by testimonies of the protagonists and by a selection of period documents, the book reconstructs for the first time the history of a trend that gave life to true icons of design and presents itself as a text of reference for scholars and enthusiasts. #designnarrativo #bookdesign 24 ORE Cultura

This graphic design project was developed in 24 hours. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 an international task force of designers, engineers, medical professionals, and military experts have joined forces to work on CURA, an open-source project aimed at capacity building in Intensive-Care Units (ICU). The first prototype of CURA, whose name stands for Connected Units for Respiratory Ailments, uses repurposed shipping containers to create plug-in biocontainment pods that can be quickly deployed in cities around the world, promptly responding to the shortage of ICU space in hospitals and the spread of the disease. Architect: Carlo Ratti Associati + Italo Rota With the support of: World Economic Forum: COVID-19 Action Platform, and Cities, Infrastructure and Urban Services Platform.

Volevo ringraziare pubblicamente maurizio ceccato per COVER STORY, coraggiosa e ostinata rubrica su l’allegato la Domenica del Il Sole 24 Ore. Nelle sue poche battute celebra da qualche anno la nostra professione di grafici, raccontando a lettori altrimenti distratti, che dietro la copertina di un libro esiste un progetto. Lo fa senza scorciatoie, con passione, spiegando le finiture, le carte, le nobilitazioni, svelando il nome dei caratteri tipografici usati, mettendo in luce il lavoro che si nasconde dietro quel rettangongolo di facciata. #surrealismo #surrealism #duchamp #bookcover #cover
