This is not a DUO, it’s the joint research and experimentation journey in the field of speculative design, conducted by two designers, Giulio Bordonaro and Nicoletta Gomboli.
We're fascinated by complexity as an intellectual challenge and strive for simplicity as the product of creativity and good design.Our focus is on Branding and Speculative design. In our research, education and design activities, we have been experimenting and refining several future-imagination techniques. We want to foster reflections, involving people and organizations in envisioning alternative worlds.We do not want to escape from reality, instead we want to give our contribution in redesigning it, with awareness and foresight.
