New graphic design for mestieridarte.it

New graphics, also renewed in content, for the online version of "Mestieri d'Arte & Design. Crafts Culture," Fondazione Cologni's semi-annual magazine dedicated to the excellence of artistic crafts, high manufacturing and conscious and creative design. In celebration of the successful collaboration with Elle Decor Italia, which conveys the magazine to its 10,000,000 subscribers, the digital content offered on mestieridarte.it tells authentic stories of craftsmanship and passion, and opens the doors of ateliers, workshops and businesses where the ritual of beauty and originality is celebrated daily. "Art trades represent a savoir-faire that cannot be reproduced or easily exported, and that asks to be preserved: by putting culture into circulation, for example. As we try to do with this magazine," writes Franco Cologni, the magazine's editorial director. Designed by Emanuele Zamponi, the new website combines a revamped aesthetic with the precious language of art crafts. Each issue dissects a theme dear to high artistic craftsmanship: already available are "Renaissance," "Living Treasures," "Manufactures," "Homo Faber," and "Italian Beauty." From editorials signed by outstanding contributors to narratives featuring the creators of beauty well made, to a section devoted to the historical archive. Enjoy reading! www.mestieridarte.it
