SIGNS
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, [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
New collection is here. Our wider selection ever, it celebrates the old and the new. Here we go again, sharing with you all the secrets of Wood’d products. Why now?

Shortly we’ll try to introduce you to our way of designing products, experimental [...]

Davide Pagliardini is the letter A of Italian typography, and this is how he rocks. Well, second episode of "Design Stories", the column about designers that make our country rocking.

So, the advice is: take your time to read this, a big surprise is coming at the end. [...]
