Le Chat Bleu
Personal project
Even though I consider myself more of a dog person, I have always felt a strange connection to cats and their—let’s say—attitude. It might seem contradictory to start a project description revolving entirely about cats with that statement, but that’s also another reason why, I feel that connection. At times cats don’t care much about what you think, but above all, I appreciate honesty. This personal project began as I was casually sketching cats. It felt natural to stretch, move, and place them in different scenarios, effortlessly expressing emotions like anger, fear, and annoyance, all feelings tied to a deep spectrum of colors, Blue. Le Chat Bleu embodies this Mode de Vie, a mood, and a character that many of us connect with—whether we realize it or not.

Handmade tee labels
For the pieces in this collection, I created a set of unique labels that complement the different scenarios depicted on the t-shirts. Each one is handcrafted using the xylography technique, making them unique, slightly varying in color and texture. From moody under the moon, to scared in the city and melancholic with a hanging telephone, each label comes with its hand-written text and the edition number, adding to its uniqueness.

Organic shopper
In addition to the the clothing collection, two different shopper made from 100% organic cotton and screen printed in limited edition. As with the t-shirts, I created short videos to promote these pieces on the brand's Instagram page, capturing them in dynamic scenarios around Berlin.
Le Chat Bleu & Cicli Bonanno
Custom bike frame design
Collaborating with Cicli Bonanno, we created a unique bike frame featuring a bespoke paint job design. Merging the brand identity of Le Chat Bleu with Bonanno’s purist approach to craftsmanship, the bike showcases a cream White Base with Klein Blue accents in the frame builder's logos, along with special details crafted exclusively for this collaboration. The result is a bike that embodies both character and elegance.

Italo Disco+
For the project, we chose the Italo Disco Plus, a frame built for conquering long distances with ease, from tarmac to gravel. The final build reflected the spirit of the Blue Cat—roaming the city with occasional ventures into the wild. A custom illustration on the seat tube adds a unique touch, serving as a visual representation of the collaboration. This bespoke detail not only highlights the partnership but also reinforces the bike’s distinct character, making it a true one-of-a-kind piece.
