Nebula Project is a device that incorporates a miniaturized Modified Atmosphere Packaging MAP technology system for food preservation. It represents Saes's first Industrial Design project, aimed at implementing design driven innovation methodologies within the company and exploring their applicability in laboratory workflows. It is estimated that approximately 930 million tons of food were wasted in 2019, with around 60% of it being discarded by consumers at home. Nebula aims to address these challenges by leveraging cutting edge technology to empower individuals to reduce food waste.

Filippo Batavia is a Designer and Researcher in the field of Materials Science. He leads design at both creative and technical levels, exploring the intersections of various disciplines, from computational design to advanced fabrication processes. Filippo has a keen interest in experimenting with workflows and tools in unconventional contexts, seeking innovative strategies for product design. Her recent work has focused on leveraging procedural design and coding in product development to emulate natural solutions for improved performance and sustainability. Currently, Filippo leads the design innovation lab of SAES Getters, an advanced materials company based in Milan. SAES innovates and develops advanced materials for extreme application sectors, including particle accelerators, quantum computers, and aerospace.

SAES specializes in advanced technologies and materials for niche sectors, including getter technologies for high and ultra-high vacuum, gas management, shape memory alloy, advanced chemistry and functional compostable packaging. Design Team was born with the aim of generating innovation by creating a bridge across the different disciplines that build SAES’ DNA. This gave us the opportunity to develop a unique language based on the “design driven by science” paradigm.
