Lamborghini x Emiliano Ponzi
The Moleskine notebook project follows years of collaboration that has spawned many customisations of the notebook, both for the annual edition and for a number of specific Lamborghini events. The artwork narrative crafted by Ponzi tells of a journey in a Lamborghini Huracán EVO that starts in an urban context, meanders through a naturalistic setting, and culminates at sunset with the illustration on the cover.
Automobili Lamborghini and Moleskine have commissioned Emiliano Ponzi to create a cover illustration and interior design for its collectable 2021 notebook.
Considered one of the finest illustrators of his generation, artist Emiliano Ponzi is well known to express himself with bold, textured artwork that employs repetition, a judicious use of line, strong graphic compositions, and the use of conceptual metaphors to define and communicate a theme.
His illustrations are featured in distinguished publications, books, newspapers, and world-renowned advertisements for clients such as The New York Times, Le Monde, The New Yorker, Louis Vuitton, and Cartier.
The collaboration between Automobili Lamborghini and Moleskine arose from a careful evaluation of the graphic approach, staying consistent with the brands' values both in terms of the evocative design projects and prestige at international level. Emiliano Ponzi's graphic style perfectly reflects these characteristics.
The narrative crafted by the artist tells of a journey in a Lamborghini Huracán EVO that starts in an urban context, meanders through a naturalistic setting, and culminates at sunset with the illustration that we see on the cover.
Automobili Lamborghini says the creative endeavour aims to highlight the poetic, metaphysical aspect of the dreams and emotions associated with driving, owning, and being accompanied by a Lamborghini. The Lamborghini provides the colour in both dream journeys and real ones, in the context of open spaces and urban settings.
The Moleskine notebook for Automobili Lamborghini, Special Edition 2021, is available through Lamborghini dealers and online via www.lamborghinistore.com. The notebook sells for approximately NZD$65 plus shipping.
