The Thesis for the Product Design degree at the Kunsthochschule

About the project
2011
The street forniture of Venice is a various set of objects: some perform their function unaware of the context and other are designed with a nineteenth-century style, trying to blend in this historical city (forgetting that the city is mainly medieval). This thesis seeks to make a plan tailored to Venice. The garbage collection is rationalized and fully attributed to the boat transport; the various pieces of furniture dialogue as much as possible with those people who live in the city just for a few days; the objects furthermore try to fulfill their function without adding visual noise to a city whose uniqueness should be preserved as it is.
