An interweaving of natural elements, a decorative motif that redesigns cutlery by 'dressing' it with contemporary style. Just by placing the fork, spoon and knife close together, the asymmetrical graphism conceived by the fashion designer Gianni Cinti is composed. Signs of an organic and unique storytelling. View Post

Advertising makes a statement and helps people change their minds—specifically to make a purchase. There are people who do similar things in order to change society. We often call them activists. Activists and advertisers possess a similar skill set. In 1950, Ian Hamilton stole a stone slap ...
