Karta
Giovanni Mazzeo's thesis project for CasaOz
Academic year
2023-2024
Karta is an innovative project designed for CasaOz that engages children in creating eco-friendly toys.
Made from natural materials like cardboard pulp, seeds, and plant-based glue, these unique toys can be planted in CasaOz's garden, where they transform into living plants.
This approach not only fosters children's creativity but also promotes environmental education, teaching the importance of recycling and respect for nature.
Casa Oz represents everyday life for those who have temporarily lost it. Inspired by this principle, Product Design students have created objects, furniture, and accessories to enrich and evoke this sense of normalcy.
Stools, sound-absorbing panels, games, and elements that encourage social interaction: in their thesis projects, students focused on two key areas distinctive to the association: spaces dedicated to food preparation and consumption, and outdoor areas that promote enjoyment and connection with nature.
