How design can save your life // designisAccademia di Belle Arti di Napoli

It is a journey through the hidden potential of design. Through the use of Splendorlux and Materica Gesso papers, the intention is to emphasise craftsmanship in design, which is often understood as something mechanical. One is invited not only to reflect one’s own image, but also to peer inside oneself without feeling limited by one’s own perception, thanks to the rendering of an unsharp reflection. Thus was born a box carefully designed to contain the main elements of the project. The papers were chosen to return a specific tactile sensation, allowing us to reconnect with nature. In line with this, emphasising the participatory aspect of design, ‘designis’ was born. A small box was designed, containing a card, a leaflet and a wax crayon, to rediscover the child within us and allow everyone to express themselves in relation to design.
