Tommy's Club
It’s a collection of junk food-inspired plates and glasses that turns burgers, fries, and sodas into pop and inclusive characters, telling the story of autism with humor and without stereotypes.
Tommy’sClub: Different is Extra-Ordinary
Tommy’s Club is a project by Musae Studio that transforms junk food into a manifesto for neurodivergence. Why? Because differences don’t just exist—they make the world richer and more interesting.
The collection includes fast food-inspired plates and glasses, designed to enjoy your favorite comfort foods, as if our home were a fast food restaurant—but with an entirely new menu: humor, inclusion, and plenty of personality.
Launched on April 2nd, in celebration of World Autism Awareness Day, the collection is entirely painted in blue, the symbolic color of autism, to emphasize the importance of representation and the celebration of diversity.
Food& Autism: Beyond Taste, a Language
Food is not just nourishment: it’s routine, comfort, obsession, or pure pleasure. For many people on the autism spectrum, it represents an essential element in organizing daily life and managing emotions. It’s through food that stability and security can be found, becoming an anchor that helps face everyday challenges.
Tommy’s Club transforms burgers and drinks into characters that tell the story of autism with lightness and humor, far from stereotypes and without pity. Because, deep down, each of us has traits that can be linked to the autism spectrum, even if we’re not always aware of it. Creating an accessible and fun language helps break down barriers and fosters a greater understanding. Making inclusion pop, playful, and a bit irreverent can help us better understand ourselves and others, creating a more welcoming, open, and conscious community.
A Comic for Inclusion
Gabriella Ferrazzano, founder of Musae Studio, created Tommy’s Club to share the neurodivergence of her brother Tommy, bringing to life a paradoxical, fun, and inclusive universe. Each character is inspired by real-life experiences, making the narrative authentic and engaging.
The goal is to expand this world with new characters, transforming Tommy’s Club into a comic that serves as a tool for autism awareness, with a particular focus on schools, to prevent bullying and to educate new generations on fostering empathy and respect for diversity.
