Something Meaningful

Something Meaningful Something Meaningful, a creative studio that researches and develops hybrid innovative solutions to make culturally-driven local and social impacts.

Sarah Ahmad and Gianluca Menini are the two co-founders of Something Meaningful. After various experiences in contexts spanning from architecture to crafts, to graphic design and illustration, to digital, UX design and strategic design, they have blended their heterogeneous backgrounds into the origin of ’Something Meaningful’: a creative studio that research and develop hybrid innovative solution

s for culturally-driven local impact. Constantly using design as a ’language’ to explore emerging values within different cultural contexts, they seek to find new meanings in our society that do not derive only from aesthetics, but from the relevant social impacts it can make on communities and people’s lives. As enablers, storytellers, testers, change-makers, they ultimately seek to use design as a way to allow new behaviours and cultural patterns to emerge and become accessible and malleable to fit, challenge, and redefine the needs of society.

The stage has a series of black ribbons of different heights with laser cuttings of the murmuration patterns that we designed with warm back-lights. These allow us to play a lot with shadows and highlights. ☺️

The final sculpture that we designed was produced beautifully by our friends over at ICL Tech, specialists in plastics.

The sculpture has the skyline of Glasgow and our signature murmuration pattern surrounding the Glaswegian sky. This is highlighted by the TEDxGlasgow colour, red. What d'you think?
