Design in Italy in critical times

Mr. Quadrago
Claude Marzotto

with Maia Sambonet –
A device for portable printing; object-game-workshop, built with simple and recycled materials: a bicycle wheel, old wooden letters, etc. To be able to compose, as a game or reality, imaginative drawings or even self portraits, hand printed in a few minutes, big in size. Personal creativity finally has a tool for everyone’s use.

Claude Marzotto is designer and printmaker. He graduated in Communication Design at the Politecnico di Milano and is currently conducting a research in the context of "improper" graphics tools and DIY projects. Since 2005 he works in Barcelona with the illustrator Alexis Rom.
