Saisei is a design and technology studio in Carpi, Italy. We make identities, websites, motion and campaigns for brands that want to be watched — not scrolled past.

We named the studio after a button. Everything we make has to pass the same test: would you press play?
Go on — the buttons work.

20:50Carosello1957—1977
From 1957 to 1977, at ten to nine every night,
Italy sat down to watch ten minutes of advertising.
On purpose.
It was called Carosello. A whole generation went to bed right after it.
The ads were the show.
Today there’s a button for skipping them.
We make the kind nobody wants to skip.

23:30Fuori ondaoff the record
Around half of what leaves the studio never carries our name — by design. Agencies and studios bring us the brief, we produce it off camera, and it airs under their badge. Your client meets a hero. They never meet us.
Strategy, identity, websites, motion — delivered unbranded, ready to present as your own.
No case studies, no “made by” in the footer. As far as anyone knows, we were never in the room.
Overflow weeks, odd skill gaps, deadlines that shouldn’t be legal. Plug us in, unplug us when it’s done.
23:50Linea direttathe lines are open
Tell us about the brand you’d like people to watch. We usually reply within 24 hours, and a lot faster if the subject line mentions espresso.
