1_Creating a new Identity for the flagship store in Monte
Napoleone for the sunglasses company Italia Independent,
working with a concept that combined their core elements:
Innovation, experimentation and remixing. We as a group
came up with the idea of an Industrial Lab to give the new
look to the store.
The concept focused on giving an industrial look by using
materials and machinery that are used in the development
of the products, this way we gave the costumer when
entering the store an exciting perspective of what the
brand is about.
With a meticulous arrangement, we obtained a clean space
with functional objects that allowed the display of the
product, techniques, materials and everything we wanted to
show the costumer in this particular store.

THE LIVING LOBBY
2_
Creating a new concept for a reception and the lobby for the future headquarters of Siemens in Milan, as a group we
decided to bring warmth and home feeling to make visitors and employees very welcomed into the offices.
The area developed in this proposal was arranged in a way for it to become “The Siemens Home” by making each
space part of a house but intended to be a working/waiting area with all the technology offerings of the company.
The areas were developed according to different moods, so it was welcoming and very relaxed for guests and workers.
The idea was to portray a good impression of Siemens working philosophy, learn from them and enjoy being there.

THE LIVING LOBBY
Concept & Mood Design

Small tent developed for backpackers to enhance their
experience when traveling into nature, allowing them
to enjoy in great comfort everything that is happening
around.
The main objective is to be able to enjoy the outside from
the inside, permitting the user to customize how much air,
light and privacy to have.
The interior is thought not only for sleeping, but also for
doing other activities and not feel in an enclosed space.
This project was presented in the 2016 Biennale of
Marrakesh in the pavilion of collaboration projects of
Domus Academy.

BARRANQUILLA

Restoring an abandoned house in the coast of Colombia to make a new house that would be proper for the tropical
climate, have a contemporary and nicer look and be suitable for living.
We kept the original structure of the old house, and started working on the new distribution of the space, restoring
as well as building what we needed to make the house suitable for the purpose and appeal the taste of our client.
Working as the main designer of the project, I decided on how each area would look like, the materials and finishes
for the outside and inside as well as furniture and objects to be used, also I was in charge of dealing with all workers,
suppliers and contractors.

KASSANI

Kassani is a design company in Colombia that specializes
in office and contract furniture of high quality, as well as
designing the interior design of the spaces to develop.
I worked in Kassani diseño for a year, my position was in
the commercial area where we had to do all the blueprints
and renders for projects to show the clients.
I had the opportunity to learn among architects and
designers technical specification for doing working
spaces, and also learned new rendering software to better
explain the projects.

SOUVENIR

This project has the intention of rescuing memories of every year and helping people preserve their most valuable
moments, so a created a personal storage that helps conserving small items that have a high sentimental value and
don’t have a right place to be stored.
The products was thought to be resistant and with Eco-friendly materials to preserve the objects better through
time and allow the storage object to be produced the same way in the future and keep saving memories every year.
As it is a collection of storages to remember how was every year lived, the exterior color ring changes with the
Pantone “Colour of the year”, and also the interior textile patterns with the fashion trends, for memory purposes.
Product exposed at exhibition “Volarán” 2015
in Bogotá, and published in the magazine of the
Universidad de los Andes.

LOUIS VUITTON -TRAVEL

Finding a new branch of products for the luxury brand
Louis Vuitton, creating exclusive traveling kits for cos-
tumers that want a different experience in their trips.
Inspired in the traditional trunks we developed a small
container to carry different lines of products, thinking
about diverse activities and needs that people could want
when traveling.
For this prototype, we thought about the ritual and ele-
ments of smoking and how could this luxury brand give
costumers a new experience.
We had to sale the product, so we did a window display
making a container box where a traveller appeared hold-
ing one of this kits.

Final Product Model

I see myself as a very social person that has the skill to
interact with many people and appreciate everything they
have to offer, I am very passionate on what I do and always
want to learn more things that could help me grow as a
designer and as a human being.
I’ve had different experiences in my life studying and
working freelance and in important companies in Colombia,
where I have learned a lot of things that have helped me
persuade my dream of becoming a professional interior
designer.
