Drago – Street art publisher

Martedì part of "36 Chambers" book series is a showcase of strong and innovative designs that have always been the distinguishing factor of Studio Marte. Based in Milan, Italy, the work is a union of Japanese and American 1970s psychedelia mixed with pop culture. Marte is a collective that was established in Milan as the result of the creative joint between Marco Klefish, Giorgio Di Slavo, and Riccardo Trotta. The Marte studio deals with graphic design and is particularly focused on editorial projects, packaging and fashion design. True to its independent roots Marte draws on its passions for a work which is very different from the average of many street graphics. Its sources vary from the California psychedelia of Rick Griffin and Victor Moscoso, to the Japanese poster art of Tadanori Yoko and Kiyoshi Awazu, including Scalarini, Jacovitti, Gabor Palotai, Stefen Sagmeister e Herman Zapf. In 2006-2007, Marte has collaborated with: Vice, Stussy, the Milan Triennial, WAD, Nike, Pimpnosis, Clash, Franklin&Marshall, Superfly, Garage magazine, Alex Fakso, Diesel, Damiani, Converse, Bungalow Zen, Warner Music, Emi, Ready Made, BHG, Inquiring Mind, DigDeep, Tracy Funches, Pitti Immagine Uomo, Rugged magazine.
