A LONG STORY

Like you understand from my blog longboarding is one of my passions, am not so good but i don't give a sh*t. I started in 2007, then in 2008 I designed and make my first board, for my bachelor degree in industrial design and i never stopped to study how is possible to improve a board ... and now I'm gona show the state of art. If you are interested or want more info please contact me. 

The actual model is a freeride board designed for stand up slide and is made in the north east of Italy.

A PROJECT FOR CRAFTSMAN

Handicraft in the north east of Italy, is very important...it affects any aspect of the area from the landscape to the social life. Here there is a lot of companies that can covert a material  into a shape in the more accurate way... or create entire new objects...
In the past years our fathers made a lot of richness and know-out in many fields and products, but now not all these companies are able to think at the future...
I believe one of the main reason, is not hide beside the word CRISI, often use like good instrument to apologies or justify misconduct. I believe the main problem is the relationship between fathers and sons... between the two generations. Fathers too busy for listen the new generations and sons too weak and shared to make our point of view stronger. 


These is a personal project, called Gombina, I've done in the last spring. It is an example of how is possible create new shape, idea or simply make more actual the products of our fathers...to keep alive their business. It's a flowerpot made out inox. Is based on 3 innovations: 1_ aesthetic is tapered from the ground.  2_ technical object, it has a function (but am not giving all info) 3_ it is made of inox, the metal under my point of view is one of the more eco-materials for his long life and recyclable properties. It's feasible.

L'artigianato o la piccola media impresa nel nord est è un fattore di grande importanza tanto da influenzare qualsiasi aspetto dal paesaggio alla vita sociale. Negli anni passati i nostri padri hanno creato così una grande ricchezza economica ma sopratutto di idee e know out e prodotti di qualsiasi genere. Molte di queste aziende però oggi non hanno la capacità di pensare al futuro. Sono fermamente convinto che una delle ragioni principali di questa incapacità non sia tanto nascosta dietro alla parola CRISI, spesso usata come buon strumento di scusa e giustificazione a fronte di comportamenti poco corretti. Piuttosto credo che uno dei problemi principali sia il rapporto tra Padri e Figli ... ovvero tra le due generazioni. Padri troppo occupati a raccattare ''schei'' per ascoltare i giovani e giovani un po' deboli e poco uniti nel farsi sentire e nel voler cambiare le cose.


Questo che vi mostro è un progetto personale realizzato la scorsa primavera. Credo sia un piccolo esempio di come si possibile creare per i nostri artigiani nuove e semplici idee per aiutarli nel loro business. Si chiama Gombina ed è un vaso per fiori e piante. Si basa su tre innovazioni: 1_estetica: si rastrema verso l'alto 2_ funzionale ... ve lo racconto un altra volta 3_il materiale, oggi che si parla di ECOqua e la, be io ci credo... penso che il metallo per la durata e la sua capacità di essere reciclato sia uno dei materiali più ecologici se associato ad una produzione sostenibile. 


Noi sappiamo fare molte cose, tra cui pensare al futuro...

VISITING CHIAPAS

hi guys, how is going? It's about 2 months that I am in Mexico, and I will make more post about this town but a special place overall I saw is Chiapas. It's wonderful place under many point of view natural, anthropolical and with a great history... where the time has a strange meaning where you can observe ancient traditions living with an emerging economy. Is a place that can change people I think ... 
if you want to visit I suggest to get informations before to don't be superficial and take your time to visit and feel it.

LONGBOARDING GERMANY

Longboard is considered a new sport, but really is an evolution of the skateboard started from origin of it. Personally I have a true love for this sport, you can ride everywhere there's some asphalt, better if is not flat.
This wekend I've been in a small town of Germany near Stuttgart called Lowestein. Here there are a couple of not still young guys that since the 1983 produce longboard and snowboard taking care about who ride in a difference way. Here some photos of the trip...was very nice to find so much people on a longboard.

I'm afraid there's no photo of riders making DH, super slide or trick... I was riding too...
