CARMINE BASILE
ABOUT ME Hello, I’m Carmine Basile. I am a designer with a master’s degree in Eco Design at Polytechnic of Turin, Italy. I’m currently working as a Video Producer and Visual Designer for a digital-tech company based in London. I have over five years experience working with video production and motion graphic design, including expertise in graphic design, storyboard development, filmmaking, photography, and illustration. Through my work I have gained versatile skills such as working in team, matching client specifications and working on multiple projects with a tight turnaround. I am very meticulous in my work as a designer and I pay attention to every single pixel. During my last years at University I formed a design collective named “Marasma” with my fellow classmates. We focused on sustainable design, we organised workshops and made DIY furnitures using recycled materials. I see myself as a green thinker. I believe in sustainable solutions and as a designer I have the responsibility to contribute to higher quality living environments.

After a long duel between Earl Humphrey of Landolfi for Salernitani and Prince Rajan for Saracens, the two knights were exhausted and leaned on each of the two stacks that came almost to the beach. They decided to be brothers there. Then, in an attempt to embrace, they slid and were dead in the water.
Since that day, in their memory, the two stacks in front of the beach of Vietri were named as "The two brothers". It symbolizes the initiative of two friends to produce a tasty limoncello with the recipe and products coming from Salerno to give people the pleasure of enjoying this drink and remember the origins.

SALAD DRYER “Dry ‘nn Dress” is a salad dryer with a double funtion. You can dry the salad, dress it and serve it in the same bowl. You have to simply place the salad into the metal bowl, cover it and push the handle up and down. It starts to spin and the water goes into the outside silicone bowl.

ALICE
ATELIER PRODUCT DESIGN 3 - 2010 L. QUARONI University of Rome
Prof F. Paretti
TEA CUP “Alice” is a tea cup with a small dish and a tea infusor. It was designed for Bodum, a danish company involved in the production of kitchen tools, teapots, glasses and coffe makers. After an accurate research on their products we designed a new tea cup.
Alice is made of borosilicate glass and silicone, traditional materials used by Bodum. This type of glass has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion and it is more resistant to thermal shock.
SECTION
THE HANDLE Thanks to the slot formed by the shape of the handle you can put the string of the tea infusor in. The silicon handle is easy to take out from the bottom of the glass.
PROTOTYPE AND PACKAGING We made a prototype with a 3D printer to test its ergonomics and dimension. The images show how it can be used both as a dish or a cover.
LIVING HOOD
Design for Components - 2012/13 ECODESIGN - Politecnico di Torino
Prof L. Bistagnino
The aim of this projects is to improve the quality of the air in the kitchen in which we can find: oil, organic compounds, vapour and heat.
The shape of the hood combines three different needs: take out the air, include lichens for depuration, economic and craft production.

The whole hood is made of copper sheet, bended and joint with rivets.
CETRARIA ISLANDICA Lichens are able to absorb organic compounds, oil and water from the air. Already diffused and used in different ways, such as cosmetics, food and health
Earthware Lichens
EARTHWARE Each tablet is made of earthware and fixed into the hood. Earthware is a porous material able to keep humidity and good as substrate for lichens. It’ s also a natural material easy to work and with a low impact for the environment. It has a strong resistance to high temperature

CHIP CHOP
Chip Chop is a chopping board. It has arisen from the merger of the Italian tradition for bread and the Chinese culture to the synthetic and linear forms that are part of everyday life. The approach of the wood to the fabric perfectly represent this cultural meeting.
OFFICINA CAPLAVUR - Torino Fusion Design Lab - 2012/13
CHOPPING BOARD AND PLACEMAT Chip Chop can be used both as a cutting board and as a placemat. Its folding structure is designed for easy disposal of waste materials. Once stopped using it can be rolled up so that it takes up minimal space.
MILANO DESIGN WEEK EXHIBITION This project was designed during a workshop organised by Officina Caplavur, a cultural association based in Turin. Some of selected works, as Chip Chop, were realised by a network of local craftsmen in limited series. Chip Chop was shown at “Fuorisalone Oriental design week” in Milan, 2013.
Officina was a collection of six objects created through the interaction of young designers coming especially from China and Italy The aim was to promote and enhance the integration of chinese community in the italian society by means of the design process.
TRANSPORTATION DESIGN RIVER BOAT This is a boat designed to cross the Tevere river, in Rome. It was concieved for artists and photographers who want to capture landscapes from another point of view. Indeed the entire path is surrounded by naturalistic and architetonic views.

TRAVELLING LAB The boat has wide glass windows on both sides. Here people can draw, take pictures or simply watch the landscape. The central area is an exhibition room. You can show your own artwork or just watch the exhibition.
PROTOTYPE The floating base is made of wood, it was assembled by the help of a carpenter. The top is made of paper and balsawood
PRIS CHILDREN’S TOY The aim of this project was to design a children’s toy about Pinocchio fairy tale story. Pris is inspired to the Tris game.

Semifinished metals
The semi-finished wood or metal are used for most of the structures of chairs and armchairs
UPHOSTERY During systemic design course we studied the entire production chain of the Upholstery’s products. Starting from raw material and semifinished to the distribution of the products. Analysing its lifetime and the possibility to recover it.

SYSTEMIC APPROACH We introduced a systemic approach to the Upholstery’s production chain. The primary goal was to increase local activities and create and artisan network wich collaborate to rapair products, such as chairs and sofa. We proposed a co-design platfom, a team of designers who operate as supervisors. They have to study local requirements and guarantee better products with longer life.

THE DESIGN CONTRIBUTION TO SERVICE ROBOTICS My graduation thesis’s research concerns human-robot interaction, human’s perception and recognition and robot-ethic. It was made an accurate benchmarking of 50 service robots with different features to discover trends and study robots’ evolution of last 15 years. It was taken our Campus University as a scenario where studying all the possible tasks to commit to robots.

TEMPORARY PAVILLION This temporary pavillion was designed for the famous square “Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta” in Rome, well known for “Il buco della serratura”.A keyhole through visitors can see the Cupola di San Pietro. People before reaching the keyhole of the door can cross the Pavillion having the illusion of perspective. They get ready to the beautiful sight of

Each seat with pyramid frustum shape allows a confortable position. A crane can transport it thanks to the hole in the seatback.
WASTE CONTAINERS
We made an accurate analysis of the district around the square. We studied traffic flow, level of noise pollution and lightscape, paying specific attention to people and their different cultures.
Waste conteiners are subdivided in four colourful boxes to recycle garbage. Each one has a hinge to open it and change the bag inside.
The bicycle stand takes up a minimal amount of space. At both ends of the street, they are used to block traffic.
