Alessandro Cripsta and the art coming from nowhere The gang of Design Stories expands! Today we welcome Alessandro Cripsta, illustrator and artist from Milano. He's a very talented and fine artist, in our opinion, and in about ten minutes even in your opinion, I am convinced :) His imagery is suspended between classical representations and fluorescent colors that do not have much of a classic tone. And, like others in our gang, Alessandro's work is not only to be found online, but also on walls, shop windows, fanzines and, why not, coaches turned into works of art. A huge welcome to Alessandro [...]
Francesco Galassia, Wood'd Vibes from a world close to us. Francesco Galassia is one of those guys that we really like, you know? A great graphic designer during the day, music lover and DJ at night. Coming down from the Alps to the valley to study, he landed in Milan a few years ago, and most likely you've heard him play in one o two of your favorite evenings in the city. So, a great welcome to Francesco in the Wood'd Vibes, the virtual space and mixtape collection where we ask DJs, producers and musicians to translate their idea of wood, craftsmanship [...]

La Garçonnière: the first French concept store that celebrates men and Art de Vivre. No explanations needed!

Pijama and Sergio Nox are here, bringing some warm vibes ? New year, same old habits. Friday at Wood'd means good vibes and exquisite mixes only. That's why we created the Wood'd Vibes, our monthly column where a different artist, musician, DJ or producer will be sharing some fresh tunes with us. It's a friend's turn today. Sergio Gobbi is not only 1/2 of Pijama, the milanese brand delivering colorful soft cases for tech & everyday life, but also a music man. You might have spotted him digging in some vinyl stores or playing music in your favorite indie club but sill, he's a [...]
Alberonero is the artist bringing pixels back to real life. New year's resolution: strive to bring more inspiration, more fun, more art and more people to these virtual pages. And we start with Luca Boffi, a name that rings more than a bell in the milanese art scene. You may have heard of him already with the moniker Alberonero. He is the man behind huge murals made of simple shapes with the simplest colors. Flat colored squared, one next to the other, composing a massive colorful grid able to shut everyone's mouth up. His works could be find anywhere in [...]
The guy called J89811 is a mystery. We did Uncovered him for you. Back by popular demand, our column is somewhat happy to introduce to our friends an elusive and misterious beatmaker, a designer and sound producer. He goes by the moniker of J89811, and little we all know about him. Dude, for real: guy's a funny friend of some other friends, he's based in Milan, and from there he travels often all across Europe for his business. That's all we know. Also, he is partly in the instrumental and electronic scene, as well as in deep techno music...Man, mysterious Wood'd [...]
Have you ever heard about libraries and background music? If you haven't, maybe it's the case for you to read. If you haven't, just go ahead and you'll know more. Because, for your info, for this new Wood'd Vibes we've thought to take you to a different ride. We've thought to push us into the rare, more refined groove. We've been thinking of calling a young lady who, in the case of rare records, is one who knows what she is doing. We called Letizia, and got answered by LA Ponto. We ended up talking about libraries, inevitably, and having [...]
We met La Fille Bertha, from the Earth of Giants worldwide. La Fille Bertha, you see her work once and it's hard you forget about it. Whether it be a print, a wall, a t-shirt. Her characters stand strong, and we fell in love with these a few years ago, after an evening together in Milan. She and her illustrated dolls come from Sardinia, more precisely from Cagliari, but they have left traces in every city they came to. We would like to welcome La Fille Bertha to the Design Stories, the virtual space where we display the work of our favorite artists. A little advice: do not leave these [...]
Basik: drawings, inspiration and graffiti. Call it High Five. Speaking of Lucio Bolognesi - or Basik , if you prefer - is a pleasure, mainly for two reasons. First of all, for his stylistic figure. Then because of a story that starts from afar, without falling into triviality. He would hate it, so would we. This High Five is devoted to those who use small talks and chat with their eyes. Those who understand a certain light, and seize the differences of the unspoken. Finally, for those who follow the "think wrong" philosophy. A bunch of unique creativity , without abusing worn-out terms. If you already know what we mean, [...]
