Magazine -> #10 Nomadic knowledge“Fare forth” is the overwhelming imperative of our times. Each according to her/his life style - on a white sofa fitted with wheels, in a shabby dinghy, or playfully in a portable pool like those invented by Andrea Zittel for personalised caravans in the nineties.

Magazine -> #20 Home MadeWhen it comes to the business world, I am absolutely convinced that the kind of creativity that leads to real innovation can only develop “in house” – in other words the place where all the input from day-to-day relations with clients and products is received and digested. To paraphrase the Chinese saying ”Listen and forget, see and remembe...

Magazine -> #11 Different culturesA boat building yard for pleasure crafts that can boast continuous operation since its establishment a hundred and sixty three years ago is Riva of Sarnico, a record that makes it the oldest in the world. Its legacy is part of the fascination with which each vessel sliding down the slipway is imbued. But in addition to loads of history, the firm's ...

Magazine -> #16 Beautiful and well madeAn open space under the sky of Cupertino in California. Software programmers, engineers and industrial designers brainstorming away in a closed room. A clear mission, an important challenge, that of turning an intuition into the reality of a simple and easily useable object. That’s how Apple products are born. It would be hard to consider them...
