This project was a true example of how AI can act as a creative partner when time is not on your side. It didn’t replace the human touch, far from it, I had to know what the brand wanted and needed, but it helped break the creative block and speed up decision-making at a critical moment.

At André Teoman Studio, we had the exciting opportunity to design the branding and first collection for Cabodel a brand that’s redefining furniture through innovation and sustainable design. Cabodel was born from a passion for transforming surplus industrial materials into unique, expressive pieces of furniture, filled with personality and purpose.

The story behind this collection is a tale as old as time – because a company to grow their level of craftsmanship has to nurture a close collaboration with its artisans and designers, grounded in mutual trust and a shared vision.

The consequences of this technology on the near future are yet to be seen, but it is likely that it will help designers become more pro-efficient by allowing them to work with AI tools like calculators, which can generate accurate designs quickly. It is also possible that humans and AI will co-exist in some form, as designers use their creativity and innovation while relying on the accuracy of AI tools.

Organized by AICEP - the Portuguese Trade and Investment Agency - the exhibition "Méthamorphose" showcases a selection of unique pieces by Portuguese designers and brands selected for their creativity and excellence of their know-how.

Now, as we are back in Portugal its time to take a step back and look at everything that led us to this frenetic but fantastic design days. This year was special due to the back to normality after all the “pause” made by the Covid restrictions. Also new partnerships that resulted in the products we presented, many of which represented quite a “marriage” with these brands adapting our style to their DNA.

The Salone del Mobile 2022 has come to a close, and it was a resounding success. Designers, architects, and enthusiasts from all around the world gathered in Milan to witness the latest trends and innovations in the industry, and they were not disappointed.

We don’t usually write in the blog about the works related to graphic design or visual identities, but in this case the challenge was such an ambiguous road that made the process more fun than the actual final result.
