MDAY is the program for the living area of Mazzali. Very high quality content technical characterize the program: a sandwich compound of plywood by 3 cm makes MDAY a product of absolute value.
A lot of colours, suggesting a freedom in the design that should not be only space but also visual, almost sensory.
And then freedom to create, compose, play with the elements. MDAY is solution and innovation, is the new concept of living that Mazzali has been able to interpret with refinement, content and search.
And finally Krea is sustainability: all wood used are reforestation scheduled for a furniture that increasingly puts sustainable development as a key evolutionary.
100% made in Italy

Volunteers of Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa and the 418th Civil Affairs Battalion construct an Eco-Dome prototype Aug. 27 in Djibouti. The Eco-Dome was engineered by the California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture to provide comfortable, economical and sustainable building solutions for impoverished and natural disaster stricken-areas. The design ensures the structure will be resistant to earthquakes, fire, flood and hurricanes.

Civil Affairs soldiers and camp service members from different branches began building an Eco-Dome prototype Aug. 24 as a model for possible future construction endeavors in Djibouti and the Horn of Africa.
Eco-Domes, igloo-type structures built from stabilized earth, sandbags and barbed wire, are an inexpensive alternative to constructing brick-and-mortar structures.
“The idea came from a corporation called Cal-Earth out of California,” said Staff Sgt. Joshua Erickson, Company C, 418th Civil Affairs Battalion, team sergeant. “There was a situation in an area we couldn’t get materials to, and this could work perfectly for it.”
The prototype, built by a Civil Affairs team and volunteer service members stationed at Camp Lemonnier, will allow CA teams to determine whether it is feasible to build in other locations around the region, and whether the approach is of interest to Djiboutians.
“We thought it would be foolish to build the first one for someone to actually live in,” Erickson said. “We wanted to see if we could actually do it and if it is something Djiboutians would like. This is us building one to show them and to get a little practical experience on how to build them.”
If Djiboutians express a positive interest in the earth architecture prototypes, the CA team will teach them how to build them. The structures can be used for schools, community centers and health clinics, Erickson said. One company in the city of Djibouti has already indicated an interest in learning the earth architecture construction skills, he said.
When built properly, Eco-Dome structures can stand up to the elements.
“It’s fireproof, windproof, waterproof and earthquake- proof,” said U.S. Air Force Capt. Kenneth Carmichael, Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa strategic communications planner. Properly constructed domes can withstand magnitude 8 earthquakes, he said.
“It’s highly soundproof, and there are low bearings on the whole structure so it’s not going to lean and tip over,” Carmichael said.
Adopting earth architecture construction techniques could help Djiboutians in at least two ways, according to Carmichael.
CJTF-HOA currently spends $300,000-400,000 building schools, clinics and other structures, Carmichael said, and Eco-Domes could add significantly to the utility of those funds.
An Eco-Dome structure 10 feet in diameter, such as the camp prototype, costs less than $2,000 to build. A larger structure, 18-20 feet in diameter, can be built for less than $4,000.
“The goal is to build for capacity,” Carmichael said. “This structure is two things: It can be a school or any type of structure they want to make, but secondly, it’s a skill. It’s expeditionary economics.”

My Portfolio: Package Design
The Mojito Collection is a high-end bartending kit that contains all the necessary utensils required to make a Mojito: a popular Cuban drink that consists of limes, mint and white rum. The products incorporated into the kit: a shaker, muddler, jigger, flavored sugar tin, two glasses, ice tongs, a cutting board and knife.
To avoid disposal, the package was designed with multiple second uses. The base is not only equipped for safe transportation of the products, but it also functions as a countertop display wrack. The lid doubles as an ice bucket, making The Mojito Collection the perfect on the go beverage kit.
SLIM is a wardrobe that combines rigor with geometric variety and design flexibility. The endless combinations make it possible to modulate the wardrobe by changing aesthetics. Unique or contrasting colors , in a game where the essence of wood blends with different materials: glass, leather, steel ..."
Slim maintains the high quality Mazzali thickness which is important in the structure and doors, both in strictly honeycomb, with seat backs in plywood and internal essence. The Wood is only from a reforestation program and painting strictly with water because elegance and form must be accompanied by respect for the environment and health of the consumer.

Sustainable Systems and Green Materials
Sustainable Systems and Green Materials
1) Photovoltaic solar energy system
2) Grey water recycling system - takes water from the -bathroom sinks and showers, and the washing machine, filtering it and pumping it to the fruit trees in the garden
3) Rain water collection system
4) Passive Cooling - uses low windows on the windward side and high windows on the leeward side of the house. Cross ventilation is maximized by eliminating most of the interior walls and aligning windows and sliding glass doors. Ceiling fans are distributed across the ceiling to move the warm air out when there is no natural breeze.
5) In order to reduce the size of the house, we used efficient efficient custom storage system of movable shelves and cabinets runs through the length of the house. This allows for a smaller, but smarter building.
6) Natural Daylighting - uses interior clerestory windows and transoms to allow all of the rooms to borrow light from each other.
Materials
1) recycled flooring for the first structure, patched together and left roughly finished.
2) plywood floors for the second structure
3) Ceilings of both structures are plywood, cut into horizontal boards.
4) Composite decking made of recycled content.
5) All of the Interior doors are made of recycled flooring from the existing house
6) Poured in place concrete countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, use recycled fly ash
8) Non VOC Paints and Stains
9) All plumbing fixtures are low-flow energy efficient
10) All electrical appliances are energy star rated
-LED and fluorescent lighting fixtures
11) Ductless Mini-Split HVAC system zoned for maximum efficiency

Fur throw made from all the fancy trim we saved while using the remainder of the coats for large and small pillows. This is one-of-a-kind and will probably never be made again - Sarah saved every single bit of beautiful fur from every coat, and we were going to give them away to the ladies who make teddy bears but one day she just started to stitch them together into this gigantic throw, backed on a thin canvas then finished with beautiful, modern-looking raw silks in a minimalist design. As a test we had the entire thing re-cleaned by a professional fur cleaning store, and it came out perfectly. Amazing tones of cream, beige, grey and caramel on the top, and very soft. Shown here on a king-size bed, which it nearly covers.
