Observe / Envision / Design
About
UNA works!
Founded by Margherita Paleari and Valentina Folli, UNA combines two complementary design studios, a multidisciplinary design team with an holistic approach. We love to start with a detail and end with a whole strategic project, questioning every aspect to find the most creative and consistent answers.
Our method combines passionate research, creative intuition, and the power of synthesis. A process in which market observation, trend mapping and empathic listening of the client, converge in one shared vision which is the base for creativity.
Focus
Working together, the two studios offer strategic consulting, brand identity and communication, creative direction, space, retail and exhibition design, product and packaging design.
Each client represents a deep immersion in a new word: the history of lighting design, timeless stationary, iconic italian design, chocolate culture, paper and sustainability, food retail experiences.
Team
UNA is not an agency, is a group of people, scaling up in order to deliver the best solutions according to each project. Among our collaborators: designers, illustrators, photographers, professors, researchers, marketing specialists, copywriters and artists.
Responsibility
To deliver far-sighted, responsible and sustainable design is a goal for us. We love to work with our clients to achieve durability and evergreen aesthetics, well-curated material selection, processes simplification.
