vanessafederici

I am a Swiss designer based in Barcelona. Starting at a young age, I have always been drawn to arts, specially painting. With time I have learned different techniques and as an artist I believe this enhances my overall work by being able to combine them, creating unique and various design projects.

The degree of Art and Visual Communication in 2018 has brought me closer to designing spaces. As a designer my goal is to create the ideal environment by providing a set of aesthetically pleasing and efficient solutions for a better use of the space improving the user’s experience.

Events

Night Golf Tournament

Eagle Night took place in Los Reyes Country Club in Costa Rica in march 2019. It was my final project for my PG Dip. in Environmental Design.

The colors of the lights changed along the golf course, turning every hole into a new experience. Each hole had a light installation inspired by a different destination around the world, turning this event into a worldwide golf game.

SHNIT Shot Film Festival

The Shnit Short Film Festival takes place once a year in various countries around the globe. In 2016 it took place at the Magaly Cinema in Costa Rica.

Our team was in charge of the ambiance setting and decorations of said festival.

#WeArePriceless

This group event took place in the city of San Jose, Costa Rica in 2017.

This project was created to raise awareness about the ongoing human trafficking problem in the country. There were several art installations as well as some short videos and speeches.

Stage design

Movie Set: Medieval Kitchen

This medieval kitchen design is a part of my final project for a movie set for the MA in Stage Design.

It is based on a real location in Spain, adapted to the necessities of the movie which takes place in a castle in south Germany.

Theater Set: Little Red Riding Hood

The stage design for this play was created for the Theater (Perla 29) in Barcelona, Spain. This design captivates the spectator’s attention from the moment they enter the room, instantly transporting them into a mystical atmosphere.

It is an immersive design that unites the actors and the viewers by having included the spectators seating area into the place where the story unfolds. This creates an intimate environment which gives the public the chance to empathize with the actors on a personal level.

Theater Set:

The House of Bernarda Alba

As the pain and suffering of the characters unravel, we can see the elements on stage mirroring this destructive path, making the story and stage exist in perfect dark harmony.

The end result is a stage which shows the sad truth behind the perfect image that this family wanted to project to the outer world.

Muppet Theater Set

This Muppet theater set was based on a legend of Hong Kong, about a warrior fighting a dragon. The design has various layers that create depth to the scenes and also provide space for the muppets to move.
