E-commerce collaboration with PAM Panorama

In order to widen and expand the distribution of the products, contacts were made with several stores and supermarket chains, which led to the collaboration with the supermarket chain PAM Panorama. Ad hoc packaging has been designed for PAM.

Research and Design for modular exhibition stands

The decision to design modular touring stands resulted from in-depth research into the narration and display of products. It aimed to create a project that would enhance the value of rice as a product, recount its history and potential and be representative of the district and a community. After outlining two main design solutions, we decide to design a modular exhibition stand, adaptable to different occasions and spaces, suitable for the sale of products, the story and communication of the district and the organization of show cooking and workshops.
