Kokoro & Joujou

“Kokoro & Joujou” is a colorful and original creative studio.
It was born in 2007, in order to let Federico Mariani’s creativity express itself completely, not only in the field of graphics and advertising field, but especially in drawings for children and toy-design.

“Kokoro & Joujou” has its own character, which can be seen already in its “original and individual” name! It aims at distinguishing itself from the mass, at making noise and giving colour.

Federico Mariani has been working for ten years in the mass media and web field,and he has been drawing comics and pictures for twenty years. He favours paper and print, but he has also nothing agains motion arts and the web.

Its style is POP: colourful, tender, a bit nostalgic playful and “childish”, and here it finds its own most creative soul.
