laifain Gourmet Kit: a picnic basket filled with South Tyrol’s flavours

We’ve also decided to add a set of reusable snack bags made of upcycled fabric created by RiCreAzioni, a project that creatively brings worn-out men’s shirt back to life. The founder Gianna Dessì has long been involved with upcycling practices and RiCreAzioni is her way of raising awareness about conscious consumption.

Since the beginning of our collaboration, Gianna was strongly motivated to donate her honorary fee to a local project. Inspired by her vision to give back to the community, we decided to donate Gianna’s honorary plus an extra amount to Dormizil, a night shelter for homeless women and men in the city of Bolzano. Founded in 2020 by the voluntary association “housing first bozen”, this urban project aims to provide an effective solution to the housing problem in South Tyrol by assisting those people who are forced to sleep outside on the street. It is a small, volunteer-run facility where guests are treated with respect and are allowed more privacy than the common dormitories. It is a place where the homeless can start their path towards building a dignified future in society.

The basket also contains the SUPER JOSEF Travel Book. Filled with interesting articles about the favourite places of designers, artists and other personalities living in South Tyrol, it is the “must-have” insider travel guide to the region. It is published by Bolzano-based FranzLAB communication agency and illustrated by Olimpia Zagnoli.
