The Interni Magalogue
Moda Bagno and its brand Interni, is one of the leading companies in the interior design, furniture and lifestyle industry.
Parachute® was commissioned to design and overlook the production of its high end publication the Interni Magalogue. This special edition is more than a catalogue, it is the symbol and expression of the Interni aesthetic, its values and distinct Moda Bagno brand.
When designing for the Interni Magalogue, our aim was to create a truly memorable and noble piece of high-quality work that fully embodies and showcases Interni's distinctive and esteemed character. To achieve this luxurious, elegant, and tasteful outcome, we combined top-notch art direction and meticulous design with the development of PF Kleos, a bespoke typeface specifically crafted by Parachute® for the Magalogue. Serving as a vital component, this unique typeface adds that extra spark to the final result. Inspired by the Interni philosophy, aesthetic, and cultural influence, Kleos seamlessly blends minimalism and bold design with ornate, intricate elements that cultivate an ambiance of refined luxury, sophisticated taste, and aesthetic gratification.
