2001 | Abitare Magazine
Our First Major Editorial Commission by Italo Lupi
In 2001, a pivotal moment in our career arrived. The internationally acclaimed designer and art director Italo Lupi invited us to illustrate a prestigious series of features for Abitare Magazine, focusing on Rex home appliances.
This assignment marked a historic milestone for our studio: it was the very first project where we pioneered our unique mixed media approach, seamlessly melting traditional drawing tools with digital processing. In this gallery, we proudly present an exclusive look at the original Abitare issues showcasing our complete series of 28 historical illustrations.

2006 | Madame Figaro
The Breakthrough Series That Opened the US & UK Markets
In 2006, we were commissioned to create a high-concept series of illustrations representing the signs of the Zodiac for Madame, the monthly luxury supplement of the premier French newspaper Le Figaro.
This collection became a major international turning point for our studio. In 2007, the iconic American institution Communication Arts honored these artworks with the prestigious CA's Award of Excellence. This global recognition gave our visual research massive international visibility, officially launching our presence and ongoing collaborations within the competitive United States and United Kingdom publishing markets..
