O3JECT

As private space will become a valuable resource in the future, the rising need to define and design this room is a matter of importance in the present age. O3JECT is committed to manufacture and advertise tap-proof space as an aesthetically appealing reminder of an unknown future. A handmade, enclosed and conductive cube, built by the principle of the Faraday Cage, embodies the iconic materialization of a seemingly utopian room advertised through a comprehensive campaign design.

Visual/Senses

This exhibition catalogue not only captures with tenderness the texture of decorative elements of traditional Chinese temples in glorious black and white, but also the scent of a temple. It is printed with special aroma ink to recreate the atmosphere of a temple. Through visual lens, the forgotten, the ordinary and the archaic are given stature in this catalogue. It invites readers to take a second look at the overlooked and be engaged through the senses of sight and smell as memories are evoked; new possibilities are imagined and personal connections are explored.

Base

“Base” is the name of a typeface conceived and designed by Franco Cervi. The project sums up a minimalist approach, formal rigor and an aptitude for experimentation. The original presentation brochure, besides showing the complete set of the designed characters – including glyphs – also illustrates their graphic personality, the constructive anatomy, the geometric ratios that generate the kerning. The appendix contains meta-graphic applications.

Matchsticks Forest

The concept behind these posters that one tree makes a million matchsticks, one matchstick burns a million trees. Worthless left over matchsticks are the main afflatus in this work. An out of context visuals made of an unexpected substances. Each entity of a matchstick stands out as a distinct character, it resembles the shape of a living creature, which evokes simultaneously the essence fact that these matchsticks were originally part of a living being (Tree).

This is a book of Chinese traditional foods, selected some stories by personal experiences about food and life. By using photos, contest and graphics, to show what I'm eating as a Chinese person and to tell some stories about food in my memories.
