Butter Table on display during Milan Design Week 2022
Jello exhibition on display for Salone de Mobile 2022
The rotational casting machine built by Marco Campardo and Martha Nash for the production of JelloFrom February to May 2022 I was a studio intern at Studio Marco Campardo. I assisted on multiple projects but primarly the production of his first solo exhibition in Milan during Salona del Mobile at Riviera - creative space. The whole experience was a great hands-on learning opportunity to understand what it takes to run an independent design business. I helped the production of the items, calculate the materials, manage the logistics of shipping to Milan as well as the most important task, getting coffee.
Named after the iconic gelatine pudding, Jello showcases a landscape of unique objects, each crafted as a single copy – irreproducible in series – due its particular production technique.
Interested in “hacking” industrial processes, Marco Campardo inspired by rotational moulding, one of the most common processes in mass production of affordable goods, to a lo-fi system that does not require the making of expensive and complicated moulds from silicone or plaster.
