The Awesome Project

An experimental journey of a multidisciplinary creative duo (illustrator Madalina Andronic & designer Claudiu Stefan) through the awesome milky-silky world of porcelain, with a touch of Romanian folklore. Our wish is to create heart-to-heart, beautifully adorned decorative objects for individuals and homes. All the pieces are designed and hand-decorated individually, using porcelain, underglaze colours, stoneware glazes and love. Dishwasher safe.

WAH - We Are Here

November 9th – December 23th 2012
Fabbrica Saccardo / Via Progresso 1, Schio – Vicenza

WAH – We Are Here is a pop-up collective exhibition initiated by recent graduates of the Design Academy Eindhoven. WAH was born with the intention of moving from city to city telling stories of different designers and how they research in their direct environment. This year, WAH starts its run during the 3th edition of the Schio Design Festival hosted by Fabbrica Saccardo, a cultural center located in Schio, a city in the North East of Italy.


WAH is a composed of 10 young designers from 7 different countries, residing in 7 different cities within Europe, who met through their education at the Master Course of Social and Contextual Design. After graduating, the designers decided to extend their collaboration by showcasing their work collectively, an idea that was initiated by Giacomo Piovan, who brought together some projects from a group of acquaintances. Accordingly, WAH gathered projects within graphics, products, photography, jewelry and fashion and further connected them to local designers. Through believing that Design is closer to what people might think, WAH´s aim is therefore that design should be directly communicated to the public in order to rise awareness on themes such self-production, storytelling and social design.

Eva Hild

Amazing work of the artist Eva Hild (Sweden).

"My sculptures are bodies, exposed to pressure and movements. 

On one hand, it is the mass in thin layers, running in a meander-like closed movement. On the other hand it is the empty space, air and light forming volumes, described by the contures of the mass. The construction is really made of the absent; the emptiness, the holes of air. The obvious body just defines the volume."

L'Acqua e' di tutti - Water Belongs To Everybody

L'ACQUA È DI TUTTI - promo from Daniele Quadrelli on Vimeo.

"L’acqua è di tutti" (Water Belongs To Everybody) is an interactive installation that merge plastic art, music and reuse philosophy. It's a project by Manolo Benvenuti, Claudio Ballestracci e Giulio Accettulli, musiche originali di Marco Mantovani. Supported by Rimini (Italy) and Périgueux (France) municipalities, it develops the “water” guide theme as a social and relational good. The Bottle’s facing is made with 6.000 reclaimed plastic bottles, mostly mould by the school children and associations who attended specific workshops in Périgueux. The Bottle acts as a concert hall to four Sound Fountains, perfectly working artifacts that hide a musical core, though: they are strings indeed, impatient for playing their score. When you get close to the nozzles, they stop the water flows and start the musical ones. The performance is complete as long as you play all four of the Fountains, and it seems as if you’re calling a string quartet up from the water
