White magazine cover with bold black geometric slash marks and Piano M typography in top left corner

Based in Genoa (Italy), it was founded in 2003 by two designers, Daniele De Batté and Davide Sossi.

Their experience covers a wide range of skills in art direction, brand identity, printing, typography, editorial and book design, packaging, exhibition design, digital media, web design and more. Their projects are focused on the presence or absence of graphic elements in geometry and on the use of a rigorous grid system that shows their natural bent towards minimalism.
