Great design is the product of solving real problems with original creative ideas. Matteo Ferrari and Andrea Caruso, two of the partners at Ciszak Dalmas Ferrari Studio, rely on strategic design thinking and a range of inspiration to create singular spaces that are both practical and eye-catching. No matter where you find inspiration, learn to channel it into a design project that has a positive impact and generates instant brand recognition.
In this course, Matteo and Andrea present their unique creative approach to designing for retail, blending their backgrounds in industrial design and architecture to develop impactful interior spaces. Learn their strategies for working with clients, understanding a visitor’s journey, and transforming a store, house, restaurant, or public space down to the last inspiring detail.

Credo che questo sia una dei corsi più preziosi su Domestika. Dalmas e Ferrari sono due professionisti di altissimo livello, che non si tirano minimamente indietro quando si tratta di condividere le loro conoscenze. Ho anche trovato estremamente interessanti tutte le risorse aggiuntive che hanno messo a disposizione nelle varie unità, non sono solo materiali a completamente del video ma veri e propri approfondimenti che arricchiscono e ampliano il corso.
No está mal, pero es más sobre cómo formular un proyecto en general.
Curso simple de seguir, interesantes ideas
