Second Glass is an independent magazine built around the idea of the "second glass" as a state of mind. Not about alcohol — about that moment in the evening when the world softens: conversations get louder, thoughts get quieter, the atmosphere comes alive. The tagline: "when the world shines."
The content is based on personal writing and notes about summer, translated into english and reimagined as a single publication. The goal wasn't to document events — it was to build a coherent concept and structure.
Instead of standard sections, the magazine is divided into 6 parts, each mapped to a stage of wine ripening and metaphorically reflecting a different state of summer: budbreak, blossom, veraison, ripening, harvest, ferment.
Each section has its own colour and visual rhythm, so the magazine gradually shifts as you read through it. The project opens and closes with a visual play on the glass itself — from glug glug glug to clink: the second glass is empty.
save water, save bars
Save Water, Save Bars is a project about the connection between alcohol consumption and water use in cities. It explores how much water is hidden behind a regular evening glass of wine or beer, and where the economics of alcohol and ecology overlap.
The project is built on collected data about wine and beer production, water consumption, and urban resources. Instead of a book, it became a series of posters styled as archival reports — with data visualisations on the front and facts with brief explanations on the back.
The visual language is based on three colours: blue for water, green for wine, red for beer. The ratio of colours lets you immediately read which resource consumes more water.
The project is designed as an object for bars and public spaces — the posters can exist as part of an interior or a menu. The final tagline: "economy loves alcohol more than ecology."
a personal visual research project about objects with "perfect design" — things whose form has barely changed over hundreds of years.
each section opens with a short introduction about the significance of form, followed by a selection of objects with historical context and visual evolution — from ancient to contemporary.
the design is intentionally neutral, with the focus on shape and structure. to add rhythm and movement, the book is printed on coloured paper — creating two-tone spreads throughout.
during production i made several mistakes and decided not to fix them, but to fold them into the concept instead. that's how the cover came about: inspired by the philosophy of kintsugi, two versions of the cover are joined by a torn seam highlighted with gold paint — a gesture toward accepting imperfection and valuing the process.
the book is entirely printed, assembled, sewn, and glued by hand.
The Other Half
The Other Half is a magazine researching the necessity of existing in twos.
Challenging the traditional idea of the “other half” as purely romantic, the publication examines connection in a broader sense — focusing on the bonds, dependencies, and shared experiences that shape contemporary relationships. Through interviews, editorials, case studies, and reader contributions, the magazine asks what it really means to find a perfect match in a hyper-idealised and filtered world.
The project opposes polished social-media narratives with raw, sincere, and often contradictory stories of intimacy. Combining experimental typography, vivid color palette and distorted layouts, and glossy photography, The Other Half translates emotional intensity into an expressive editorial language that feels both playful and confrontational. The magazine exists as a pair of publications — a main issue and a smaller accompanying booklet — reinforcing the project’s central concept of duality and connection.
