DI: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

: For a DPI, the greatest attention has gone to the aspects of personal safety: impact impact study, internal polystyrene and outer shell in technical materials and shock resistant.

DI: What are your future plans for this award winning design?

: A continuous development to improve the technical and security aspects. Not forgetting the development of new graphics to keep the product constantly up to date.

DI: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?

: The helmet project began a year ago, starting from scratch, as if it were a white sheet.

DI: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?

: The project comes from the HMR Helmets request for a new line of helmets.

DI: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?

: It is produced by HMR Helmets, helmet design holder.

DI: What made you design this particular type of work?

: The demand to develop a new line of helmets for the customer company.

DI: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?

: The development was handled in teams between the design studio and the customer's internal office premises.

DI: Who is the target customer for his design?

: All those who want to ski safely without losing sight of fashion and trend.

DI: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?

: The study of the shapes, characterized by the shield that becomes the rear extractor, of the refined internal ventilation system.

DI: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?

: It derives from the model number linked to the initial letter of the line name.

DI: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?

: 3D modeling on Mac, real-time graphic design with specific programs, rapid prototyping and everything else needed to get an ad-hoc project.

DI: What is the most unique aspect of your design?

: The study of shapes that optimize helmet helper features, to have an aesthetically pleasing but extremely functional product.

DI: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?

: My design studio and the interior staff of HMR Helmets, the helmet manufacturer, have been involved.

DI: What is the role of technology in this particular design?

: The study of the internal airing that allows the natural diffusion of the hygienic fragrance.

DI: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?

: It's an original project, with the physical modeling with the resin of the shapes that you wanted to get.

DI: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?

: Combine beauty and functionality consistently.

DI: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?

: I strongly believed that, as it was realized, it was a cutting-edge product, both as a concept and as a realization.

DI: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?

: The refinement of expressive typologies and the use of ski helmets has allowed us to considerably extend the prospects for the future of these products.

DI: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?

: I would like to emphasize the importance of design coherent with the maximum goals that you want to achieve in a similar project: design, security, technology.
