i-Theatre
Between late 2023 and 2024, I took part in one of the most interesting and stimulating projects I’ve ever been offered.
I was involved by Edutech in the redesign of the i-Theatre, an interactive desk, usable in various educational contexts, thanks to which it is possible to create animated stories in a collaborative, simple, and playful way.
The design team I was part of was wonderfully led by Giovanni Fumagalli, founder of the architecture and design studio CC91. Edoardo Valenti, also from CC91, took part in the project as well, with whom I pleasantly shared many hours of work, and, as a particularly experienced professional in this field, Irene Guerrieri, whom I was very happy to finally meet in person.
Our task was to renew the design of the i-Theatre, taking into account numerous aspects — including aesthetic, constructive, and functional ones — while maintaining elements of continuity with the previous model.
My contribution mainly involved simplifying the user interface to make it even more intuitive for children (but also for adults); organizing the internal electronics components considering space requirements and assembly issues; and studying some constructive aspects, such as the “extension” element.
The i-Theatre is a complex tool that presented us with numerous challenges. We were a very collaborative team, and this allowed us to move forward with passion in this project until we achieved a final result that gave us great satisfaction.
