aggrappi_singoli_1 copia

I graduated in Industrial Design thanks to a project on a handle device that aimed to increase the passenger safety on the road motorbike. The GPpassenger project was conceived by an idea of Alberto Casetta, a motorbike enthusiast with advanced skills in motorbike engineering. The project involved a multidisciplinary team composed by mechanical engineers, materials selection experts and ergonomic professionists, with the aim to realize a solid prototype. The GPpassenger has been my first real experience in product design outside the academic arena by facing with diverse real project issues for the first time.
