Australian studio Fabio Ongarato Design (FOD) has collaborated with architects March Studio, artist and fashion designers PAM and artisan bread maker Daniel Chirico to create a new store for Baker D. Chirico. As a second store in Australia, Daniel Chirico has asked FOD to create a new identity for the store and brand.

Focused on the juxtaposition between age-old tradition and craft, and contemporary design thinking with a surreal twist, the new store creates a truly unique and unexpected experience.

This small apartment (approximately 65 sq m)is located in Turku, Southern Finland. Like other typical apartment, too many walls and doors blocked the spaces and the natural light. Architect Maurizio Giovannoni first task was letting the light flow in and creating a modern living apartment design.




The partial demolition of walls was a natural consequence, along with reversing the location of bedroom and living room so that the beautiful view of historical site of Turku can be seen from the living space. The interior concept of this small apartment is a blend of cultures. The floor is covered with parquet of white ash solid wood, the shelves are birch and the kitchen table is also in birch but colored with heat. Wood is a omnipresent element in this apartment design as it constantly is for Finnish people, but the real attention is catalyzed by the nature theme wallpaper, carrying colours and a typical Mediterranean "courage". The furniture itself is a mix of the two cultures and of past and present: the grandmother's armchair is a piece of Finnish vintage from the sixties as is the red floor lamp. The arc framing the wallpaper is the famous Twiggy by Foscarini and the suspended lamps are Italian as well. ANd everything fits together in perfect harmony! 

The festival of Holi is celebrated on the day after the full moon in early March every year. It is also called the Festival of Colours. On this day people throw colors at each other.

Mexico branding agency, Anagrama has done the honey packaging and branding design for Doce Cielos, a brand specializing in traditional handcrafted honey-based products. Doce Cielos aim to encourage the recognition and consumption of these native food, emphasizing its different tastes, textures, colors and its benefits.

The packaging lines make allusion to traditional handcrafted Mexican paintings and art pieces. Our proposal achieves a sophisticated link between the Mexican handcrafts heritage and the honey's sweet traditional essence.

Since the brand's primary products are honey-based, we chose a bee for the logo.

The packaging design praises the great variety of honey varieties using a categorization based visual system and nomenclature. The typography is meant to convey the cleanliness and elegance of the product.
