Dilen Tigreblu eats ink while chasing dreams. Let us admit it: the best day of our week is the one where we drop some proper creativity on you. This is the reason why we've created the Design Stories columns, the space where we show the faces, tell the stories and share the work of our favorite Italian artists. Now, word to Dilen Tigreblu: he's currently based in Milano, and we've been knowing each other for a while now, so we had the chance to see his work evolve throughout the last few years. Dilen is one of those artists always experimenting with [...]
Solomostry whispers to your inner monsters. Everyone has one. That little creature that takes over when you are feeling spaced out, troubled, afraid or angry. Now there's a boy out there who has given a face to that little monster of yours or hundred others. SOLOMOSTRY is the artist behind your favorite monsters in Milano. From the streets and walls of your favorite spots, SLMSTRY is now bringing his monster to some of the hypest galleries and places around Europe. We warmly welcome SOLOMOSTRY to the Design Stories column, where we will tell about the work, inspiration and uniqueness of [...]
Stefano Aschieri is not average. Also his books and inspiration. I wrote this post yesterday, right after coming back from IKEA with a new book case and spending the whole afternoon moving books. First I tried organizing by color scale, then from bigger to smaller, then trying to recreate a messy but thoughtful order. I was so doomed that I started flipping through old books, the ones I always bring from home to home after every move, the ones I love so much. So I've asked myself: "If I had to choose, let's say, 5 books I couldn't live without, which [...]
DJ Danko is looking for the perfect beat. Cloud Danko, or DJ Danko, is a well known name in Italian black music scene, for several reasons. First and foremost, for the sophistication of its sound, the result of the never-ending practice of digging in the crates of which our friend is adept. Take a look at his social media and you will understand. Secondly, by the ability and the taste to create true soundscapes, unique atmospheres that set to make your listening a real voyage into sound, beyond epochs and genres. Even Nicola Conte, the famous jazz musician, adopted Danko [...]
Geometric Bang is exactly like ? We always have been men of oppositions and contradictions. Delivering tech related products in warm and traditional materials, writing digital words in a room filled with books. Opposition, to us, can be the most inspiring thing. In music, design, art. Like Geometric Bang, street artist and illustrator from Florence. Geometric, as the strictness of straight lines and flat colors, and Bang as the wreck from the grid. And this is exactly what his drawings express. Geometric Bang writes on walls as if he was using a software, uses a software as it was a [...]
ComaCose and the soul of Milano in 3000 AC. ComaCose, o Coma_Cose, if you rather prefer, is a Milanese music project, born in Milan by two adoptive Milanese, who take Milan's creative humus, for good and for bad, to transfer it to music flirting with transgenerational suggestions, beyond the genres. They have launched a whole series of videos since the beginning of this year, but very little news circulate about them. Curious to know more, here at Wood'd we crossed them for a short chat, to bring you an extract of their soundscape. Ladies and gents, Fausto and California are [...]
What's the common link between jazz fusion and a professional dreamer? Photography has always had a huge impact on us, as a source of inspiration and as a tool: to make our products and collections shining on the WWW. But not all the captured stories need to be shiny and coated. We met Karim El Maktafi six years ago, as a photography student, and then later, a few months ago, at his first solo exhibition. Karim is an Italian-Moroccan photographer, focused on documentary and portraiture. His style is contemporary yet respectful, not to be labeled or confused with the many [...]

Ckrono makes you move on the dancefloor, and not only. You say Ckrono, you say Voodoo Rebel, or Ckrono & Slesh. You talk a good chunk of last decade of underground music straight outta Florence. You're talking dancefloor evolutions, contaminations in a single reference universe: the rhythm.

Play it loud and have a nice journey in music! Who are you? I’m CKRONO, I am a Dj and producer from Florence but I [...]
Anna Capolupo and her daily worlds collide with Wood'd. Every story in design follows a pattern, or a thread. In this case, discussing Anna Capolupo's own body of work, the thread becomes evident, and it's a soul effort brought to life. Enter a magic and suspended world made of unpredictable nuances, intimate feelings and sweet contradictions. Or just visit its parallel, and make sure to be ready to sense the unseen, and feel the unspoken. We could keep on this track for a long shot, but it's finally time to let the signs speak, as we are glad to introduce [...]
