La Fille Bertha: voicing a primeval emotional instinct
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 [...]
Dilen Tigreblu: inspiration doesn’t fall from the sky
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 and the explosion of artistic freedom
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 [...]
The fabulous destiny of Anna Capolupo
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 [...]

Where our favorite illustrators, graphic designers, artists make the magic happen. We don't want to take any more time, the sooner you'll read this, the better you'll see the ? Michele [...]
Davide Pagliardini: writing passions with huge letters
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. We've met Davide Pagliardini for a quick chat about lettering, inspiration, and education. What do we love most about his work? The defined roots of his lifestyle. Skateboarding, underground music and street-art are clear references of his artworks. A button-up twist in visual design at disposal of the big brands Davide has worked with. So, the advice is: take your time to read this, a big surprise is coming at the end. [...]
Michele Papetti: the visual design experimentation
Michele Papetti is a golden boy with a great passion. Pretty hard not to be fascinated by the works of Michele Papetti, isn't it? Even if he’s a new entry in the art and illustration panorama, his work shows awareness, good taste and neatness. This is Talent.
