Guerrilla Store
Here some of the things I was showing to the Hub
Trieste people (the theme was: workspace).
In this image the Comme des Garons Guerrilla
Store in Warsaw. In terms of "casual" interiordesign, Comme des Garons has a lot of very nice
references. Here some images out of their shop in
Basel (June 2007): http://www.facebook.

Piazza Unit d'Italia
On (Total) Beauty
Trieste is a very beautiful city. Its Piazza Unit
d'Italia is even more beautiful. Walking there, at
late night, it is an absolute feeling.
Here the visual report of my trip: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/...

@FrankLange, My Instagr.am
Friend
I have a lot of "friends" on Instagr.am. But some
(even if I don't know them in person) are quite
special.
@franklange is one of my favorites, and it was very
nice to get to know him in person.
He runs a very nice bar called Aqvuedotto, you go
there late, you meet a person you never met
before and it looks like you know each other since
years. All this, smoking freely and drinking some.
Here above a glass of Santa Teresa and Cola, the
house special. Very nice.
ps. thanks to @claudio_fa for taking me there.

I Trieste
Last two days I was in Trieste, one of the finest
places in the world. I was there because of the
opening of Trieste Rehub (I will write more about
this later).
In this image, the architecture I like the most in
Trieste: the gas station designed in 1953 by
Ernesto Nathan Rogers (BBPR) for Raffinerie
Aquila. The building is still up, now "StazioneRogers" cultural association: http://www.

Trieste
Bora Wind and Its Museum
Another great thing they have in Trieste is the
"bora" wind.
But, not only they have this incredibly powerful
wind. No. They also have the museum of it.
It is called "Museo della Bora", it has its own
"Magazzino del Vento" (Wind warehouse), and if
you are around Trieste you should make sure to
get a guided tour by its founder Rino Lombardi (a
great chap, very nice person).

Here is another very special project I wasexplaining to The Hub Trieste people:http:
//www.kickstarter.com/
It is one of the best project of the last ten years:
Kickstarter.

Kickstarter facilitates gathering monetary
resources from the general public, a model which
circumvents many traditional avenues of
investment.
People must apply to Kickstarter in order to have a
project posted on the site, and Kickstarter
provides guidelines on what types of projects will
be accepted. Project owners choose a deadline
and a target minimum of funds to raise. If the
chosen target is not gathered by the deadline, no
funds are collected (this is known as a provision
point mechanism).
Money pledged by donors is collected using
Amazon Payments, and initiating projects requires
a U.S. bank account.
If you want a detailedexplanation on Kickstarter
and crowfudning, the best thing you can do is to

Monselice
Cavart and Other Stories
One of the nice things of this trip to Trieste it has
been the trip back with Legrenzi Susanna and
Franco Raggi.
Franco has an incredible collection of thousandand thousand images of all kind of design,
architecture, things.
He has the finest archive I've ever seen on relevant
things happened in design field from 1970 to 1990.
The other incredible thing is that all this precious
visuals are stored in the hard-disk of his laptop.
So, I was in the lucky condition of having 5 hours
of personal show with all the things I love most.Not to mention thatmost of the images he has,
I've never seen them before. Really really nice.
Here for instance a nice link to an article he wrote
for Domus:

much pedaling. I suppose the designer could have
taken the chain off the chainsaw and still used the
engine, but that would have taken a lot of the

Dinner at Dvilius
Last night I had dinner at Duilio Fortemagic
kingdom.
Very nice. Some old friends, some people I didn't
know. Duilio's people made tasteful pizza, wine
was good, Ramazzotti for late talks.
The thing I like the most of going there, is the
nightwalk. A hidden realm, between Linate, the
highway, Lambro and nothingness. Very special.

Jean Giraud (aka Moebius) died today.

http://www.moebius.fr/
We artists can only go so far as the people can
follow us.We are not alone, we are part of the system.
We can take risks, but if you want to go to the
peak of your consciousness, you may very well find
yourself alone.
Even if you know how to translate what you see,
maybe only ten people will be able to understand
what you tell.
But, if you have faith in your vision, and retell it
again and again, you will start noticing that,
One day more, one (super)
hero less.

An Important Patent
If you were born anywhere after 1960 you will

Yes indeed: it's the patent for the Lego brick.
A very fantastic story. From wooden blocks all the

companies in the world.

Palazzo Fortuny
On Wax!
A very nice exhibition at Palazzo Fortuny, in
Venice.
"Avere una bella cera".
The worlds first exhibition on wax portraits willanalyse a field that has been studied very little by
art historians: that of life-size wax figures. This
fascinating subject has recently attracted the
attention of numerous contemporary artists, but
has never had a specific exhibition devoted to it.
The project was inspired by two fortunate
coincidences, the existence of a series of life-size
wax portraits in Venices public collections and
churches, and the centenary of the publication ofGeschichte der Portrtbildnerei in Wachs (History
of Portraiture in Wax), written by the famous
Viennese art historian Julius von Schlosser and the
first work devoted to the history of wax
