High Five
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, [...]
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 [...]
Simone Bonanni and a new generation of designers ready to take over. Summer break is over, no more dinners outside, no more seaside chilling, no pool swimming. But we are thrilling to show you what's boiling in the pot for the season. So High Five to Simone Bonanni, product designer raised in Pordenone and based in Milano, with tons of experience in some of the glossiest design studios around Europe. We asked them a few question about his daily inspirations and simple yet bold work. So our advice is, don't leave these pages, it's the under 30 revolution! Ciao Simone. [...]

Buns: authentic creativity made in Italy, plus the right sauce. Giacomo Ballarini is the heart and creative mind behind BUNS: our go-to place when in Verona, a real must. BUNS is a gourmet burger bar you can find out of Verona's walls. Far from the tourist's sight and crowded squares. To be precise, right in the center of "Interrato dell'Acqua Morta", one of the oldest city's neighborhood, which is full of stories worth to be told. This is what Giacomo has to say while picturing the idea of designing a map telling not only the story but the thousand of different realities [...]

Andrea Aschieri is our simple man of great taste and passions. We've been giving High Five to friends and enterpreneurs for a while now. Meeting faces and spreading values we care about. But it's now time to go back home, just for a few minutes. Do you remember the time when Stefano shared with us his daily essentials? Well, it's now Andrea's turn to be uncovered. Who better than our co-founders, and brothers, can speak better about the insides, the details of Wood'd. But don't get us wrong, they can look alike, but still have different stories to tell. Time [...]
Licia and Francio: delivering open-minded and respectful design in Milan's fashion. Talented people we are proud to call friends. Licia Florio and Francio Ferrari are a couple in real life and in business. They are the driving force behind L'F shoes, the ironic brand everyone is talking about in the "shoe-biz", the one Katy Perry wore while marching for women's rights a few months ago in Washington. But since times they are a changing, their new project, "Licia Florio Playground", aims to deliver the necessary tools to feel empowered as women. So, Licia and Francio, we are thrilled for having you [...]
Marco Laganà shows us off his main inspirations and personal achievements. Ok, let's go straight: second episode of "High Five!", our column about the people Wood'd is surrounded and inspired by. Word to Marco Laganà, the Milan-based fashion designer who founded his namesake shoe brand in 2015. You may have spotted him in some of the glossiest magazines (or noisiest clubs in Milan, Ed.) with his unique and ironic collections. Our favorite? The IKEA-inspired one, before the copy-cat thing exploded last week. Keep up the good work, Marco! Ciao Marco, how would you describe yourself in ten words? I'm the result of [...]
