Melzi Studios

After sitting down with cofounders Grace and Rito to learn about Melzi, I developed a unique brand proposal for them and their newly-formed business. Melzi started in January 2022 as a way to express Grace and Rito’s creativity together, with an emphasis on how important sustainability and “slow design” are to our communities and planet. Modeled after Francesco Melzi, their goal is to share products with accessibility, functionality, and timelessness.

I based my initial brand explorations on the concept that their products are “organic but contained,” which ties together the minimal shapes and handmade sculptures they create with intent.

Melzi is currently on hiatus.
