bastard blog

In the last three months we haven’t been able to fully committ to building the bowl as, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), we have been swamped with work in between delivering the bastard winter collection and developing the new line.

Installing the metallic net along the borders wasn’t exactly a piece of cake, having to deal with drilling holes and screwing bolts into metal directly on the spot. To ensure the net to the crossbars we used bolts with selfblocking nutcases.. so we’ll feel safe even when Scott Bourne shows up.

We entirely redesigned the lighting scheme, in order to get rid of poorly lit areas:

We switched the big neons from the sides to the center.
Plus we installed a light ring all around the double ceiling and into the groove that used to host the old cinema screen. Now the lighting’s perfect!

The hips corners were carved out of multilayer wood blocks (larch + fir), leftovers from building the offices… recycling rules!

The first paneling layer was laid down using a custom tool created for the occasion, nicknamed The Longherone (thanks Lorenzo Bini, Nils @INODA+SVEJE and Andrea Paulicelli @mamadesignlab !)… and as the mind wanders looking for new lines we get ready for the grand opening night FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24^TH
