Product Design

“onefold” the CD case made of Priplak for Papier Union

Product design for a CD case with a new kind of closure to promote the plastic material Priplak. Achieved from one piece in one single cut. Developped and patented by ondesign managing director Francalma Nieddu.

Kartolino, developed for the reading (design) islands

A small table made of corrugated cardboard with rubber surfaces in the colours red, orange, white, black or purple. The material left over from cutting the outer and inner sections results in one big and one small additional table. The three shapes can be put inside each another. Design by Francalma Nieddu, production as a small series by ondesign.

reading (design) island

A carpet that also becomes a seat and integrates the idea of a delimited area reserved for reading. The reading (design) island is quite similar to the comforting old armchair. The carpets that cover the foldable supporting structure of the seats are hand-made Kelim. Folded up, the product takes up little room and is easy to transport. It can be used in public areas to create a reading corner completed with a table element, a lamp and a screen, as suggested in the touring exhibition reading (design) islands, 10 designseats für 10 designbooks.

Modular exhibition system for the Museum Villa San Michele of the Fondazione Axel Munthe on the isle of Capri

The extendable system made up of shelf elements in wood and aluminium with glass fronts makes it possible to present the steadily growing book collection. The story of San Michele by Axel Munte is available in more than 40 languages. The labelling system is magnetic, which means it is flexible and can be updated as necessary.

“Paperpool” for Papier Union

Paper selection tool and image promoter. The designers have given the white and blue Papier Union box the characteristic look of the computer media. This serves to emphasize the touch-and-feel component of the material within the communication mix. Users also find the box highly functional.

Riflesso
A carpet mirror

Embroidery penetrates the surface of a simple polycarbonate mirror, light and unbreakable, thus creating a transparent, modern tapestry that can be produced in different shapes and colours.

Riflesso is an object charged with symbolic values. This is achieved by applying a decor with elements of archaic textile patterns such as those found in Sardinian carpets. Awarded the First Special Mention in the international contest “Design and Mediterranean – Between present and future”.
