Davide Mosconi (born in 1981) is an Italian Designer and Art Director with over 20 years of experience in the field of communication and design. After spending 7 years at McCann-Erickson as an Art Director working on international brands, in 2011, he shifted his focus to branding and design. He became a co- founder and Creative Director of Apart Collective, working on projects for international museum institutions and prominent fashion brands. Starting in September 2016, he has held the role of Co-Founder and Creative Partner at Auge Design, an acclaimed Italian design agency specializing in packaging and branding, with offices in Milan and Florence. In just a few years, Davide has made a significant contribution to elevating Auge Design's status as the most globally recognized Italian packaging design agency, achieving notable awards including Cannes Lions, Clio Awards, D&AD, ADCE, Dieline, Pentawards and has represented Italian creativity on various international design juries.
Dario Volpe is a designer with more than 20 years of experience in brand design, passionate about illustration, type design, and contemporary art. By experimenting with eclectic languages, he crosses multiple and diverse stylistic barriers, encouraging a deeper understanding and interpretation of the project's core message.
In 2010, after several important international experiences as a designer (at Landor, Interbrand, Cb’a), he established Lettera7, a brand design studio based in Vietri sul Mare - Amalfi Coast, where he is both the founder and creative director.
His ability to work across multiple disciplines has led Lettera7 to handle a variety of projects in different industries over the years, continuously improving their approach to meet a wide range of challenges: "There's no preferred industry for Lettera7; we're designers and any visionary idea well-structured can be turned into a virtuous project, no matter the industry tag it goes into"
In his experimentation with visual languages, he has successfully led cultural initiatives including international festivals in cinema, music, and theatre, developed complex wayfinding systems in diverse locations, and enhanced brand design for Italian firms to spotlight their true market value. Especially in the food sector, his unconventional approach has blended artistic visuals with business needs, rapidly earning multiple projects international recognition.
