A vision of 2100 where the future meets the past.
In an era of extreme technological evolution, humanity rediscovers the beauty of craftsmanship, natural materials and pure products. This project imagines that future through the rebirth of a centuries-old Italian pharmacy jar.
I created a special edition of two pharmaceutical jars, inspired by the historical object "Pharmacy Jar", divided into two distinct lines:
ACQUA (Sea · Movement · Purity)
Acqua Mirabilis · Bath salts
Olio di Talamone · Body oil
Sapone del Porto · Solid soap
Candela Acqua · Candle
QUIETE (Land · Stillness · Nature)
Teriaca Botanica · Herbal tea
Incenso di Bosco · Incense / candle
Olio della Sera · Night facial oil
Elettuario di Miele · Infused honey
The two lines represent the duality between sea and land, movement and stillness, water and earth, while celebrating the diversity and purity of Italian products.
Concept:
Set in 2100, the concept imagines The Metropolitan Museum of Art celebrating the 700th anniversary of the jar’s rediscovery through two special-edition gift sets.
The two collections transform the historical pharmacy jar into a contemporary celebration of Italian heritage and craftsmanship, giving a centuries-old object a new meaning and purpose.
The historical pharmacy jar becomes a symbol of this return to authenticity: the more technology advances, the more we value the things that technology cannot replace.

From application to certificate, in one place
A certification agency reviews an application, sends a supervisor to the facility and issues the certificate, all in one product.
Problems show first, supervisors can't be double-booked, the inspection checklist works on a phone with photo evidence, and agencies build their own checklists with versioned templates.
