REUTPALA for The World Retail Congress by Gregory Polletta
































Designed and Prototyped by Gregory Polletta and produced with his team at iGNITIATE , REUTPALA for the World Retail Congress was completed over a 300+ day R&D period with more than 10 international partners with prototype 3D metal printing technology connected to the ENPC PhD Engineering / MBA program in Paris, RCA's RapidFormRCA program London, Digits2Widgets, and the Imperial University London's Manufacturing Futures Lab part of the Mechanical Engineering 3D printing program. REUTPALA was hand finished in pure silver and gold electroplating by Creative Awards on custom black and white marble bases produced by Lapicida with the finest Italian marble and custom cases produced by Puffin Plastics
REUTPALA is the juxtaposition of Reutpala - ‚¬œlongevity or renewal‚¬�, ‚¬œto burst open‚¬�, ‚¬œyouth‚¬� and that of the future of retail. REUTPALA is a symbol and when examined closely inside the victory of the spirit of giving and receiving with two hands is preserved. The typology of REUTPALA allows it to keep the brand identity of the World Retail Congress in a prominent position on a person's desk yet obscured by the object itself, a reminder of the worldly spirit of giving and receiving as designed by Gregory.
