Milan. In every sense.

The Alfa Romeo Milano If you’re a car guy or just simply lived through the 80s you might had seen this rare car. The Alfa Romeo Milano (75 for the European market) was an Italian sport sedan and the Brainchild of Ermanno Cressoni. Cressoni (1939 – 2005) has been a prominent designer born and raised in Milan and worked many years for the Milanese brand. On top of that he’s been a professor with…

A new adventure in art

I am relatively new to drawing characters, cartoons and portraits. I did product design my entire life therefore I still find somehow difficult to approach faces. Not only there are proportions to respect but expressions are important as well. What makes a character interesting is the feeling conveyed: anger, happiness, sadness and how good is the artist in doing it. I have to admit I am still a…

Memorial Day 2022

No design discussion today, there’s a more important matter: Memorial Day. Independently from what you’re into, put it on pause and take a minute to remember the fallen of every war. I made the following short video to say thanks to all the troops who fought and freed Europe in the 40s. If it wasn’t for those men who made the ultimate sacrifice and eventually succeeded, I wouldn’t be here writing…

Let creativity loose

This drawing is at least 10 years old, it was my first time trying to make a trench (or something vaguely similar) so I thought “let’s make something unseen, something eye-catching”. When approaching a new task, or should we say challenge, we designers have to go big, to think outside the box. Trying to make something as commercial as possible would be the worst error: we’re not marketing guys,…

The Obscure Nature of Electric Vehicles Hypothetical Electric Vehicle Every time a new technology makes its way to the market consumers are obviously ignorant about it and they normally go: 'For the same price, the bigger and more powerful the better'.

Are you ready for the Cybertruck? During the past weeks I've read a lot about the new Tesla pickup Cybertruck and I'm not referring to data sheets or articles in magazines, I'm talking about people's comments on social media.

In fashion there's hardly something yet to be invented, the most important thing is to be recognizable. A sign, an accent that makes us stand out. #fashion #style #design #details https://www.instagram.com/p/Bta0w7rAQ2U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b7020avgpk49

Steel 'n' leather necklace for strapless dress. The photo was taken before we knew Kate Spade has passed away, that's why there's a smile on my face. The news literally shocked us, she's been one of the greatest fashion designer and this one goes to her. #necklace #style #fashion #design #moda #clothes #vogue #glamour #leather #steel #pendant #strapless #dress #katespade

This tells you why I'm so into design and prototyping. Back in the early 80s my parents didn't get me Nintendo or Commodore, my favorite toy was a 1:43 Ford Bronco (and a stuffed cat). I didn't enjoy much more so I started making rudimentary wooden toys helped by my grandpa. This mostly explains the scars on my fingers. #toys #design #grandparents #prototyping #wood #handcraft #kids #fun #creativity #truck #passion #joy #commodore #nintendo medinadavide.com

Still stuck in my Murray's phase. I spent so many years watching slapstick comedy that now I really enjoy his quiet, whispered, intelligent acting. #billmurray #comedy #lostintranslation #movie #japan #tokyo #midlifecrisis #porsche #drinks #bar #scarlettjohansson

About design and Popples: a not so serious pamphlet

I was an industrial design student in the late nineties and one of the most popular word among insiders was ‘multipurpose’. We discussed a lot about our projects and the lowest common denominator was that infamous word, multipurpose. It didn’t matter what the discipline was: furniture, car design, product design, multifunctionality was the aspiring designer’s holy grail. It was like if we…
