Color Drops by Cristina Ortolani

To design this series I figured an abstract garden covered in multicolored dew. I drew a stylized flower and then I focused on the detail of a petal, combining strong curved lines typical of a retro style with a mellow texture, like watercolor, to soften the drawing and harmonize with the fluffy woven fabric. A pleasant place where everyone can relax, work, play.
Per questo design ho immaginato un giardino astratto su cui cadano gocce di rugiada multicolore. Ho realizzato un fiore stilizzato e mi sono concentrata sul dettaglio di un petalo, unendo linee curve incisive tipiche di uno stile retrò a una texture morbida, pastosa, simile all'acquerello per ingentilire l'immagine e armonizzare con la trama soffice del tessuto. Un luogo piacevole su cui rilassarsi, lavorare, giocare.

About Cristina Ortolani

I live and work in Turin, after completing art school I graduated in Architecture. I'm specialized in illustration, especially advertising and scientific images for the school textbook publishing market, and visual design to create home decoration by using both vector graphics and 3D modeling, that helps me create a virtual model of the product and thereafter simulate a location. I work remotely for Italian and international companies, from California to Hong Kong.
When I start working on a project I take some time to think at the atmosphere that's going to surround the final product, what kind of people are going to use it, situations and mood.The passion for my work makes me think at the client satisfaction as the most rewarding part of each project. Some of the companies that used my drawings are Vodafone, DeAgostini, Mondadori, Alessi.
Vivo e lavoro a Torino, dove dopo la maturità artistica ho conseguito la laurea in Architettura. Mi occupo di illustrazioni, principalmente per editoria scolastica e pubblicità, e di visual design per la realizzazione di oggetti d'arredo, utilizzando sia il disegno vettoriale che la modellazione 3D che mi è utile per creare un modello virtuale
del prodotto e successivamente ambientarlo. Lavoro abitualmente in remoto sia con l'Italia che con l'estero, collaborando con clienti dalla California a Hong Kong.
Quando inizio a lavorare a un progetto mi prendo del tempo per calarmi nell'atmosfera che circonderà il prodotto finito, concentrarmi sulle persone che ne usufruiranno, situazioni e sensazioni. La passione per il mio lavoro mi porta a considerare la soddisfazione del cliente l'aspetto più gratificante di ogni progetto. Fra le aziende che hanno utilizzato i miei disegni compaiono Vodafone, DeAgostini, Mondadori, Alessi.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
