Thames & Hudson has just published Total Office Design – 50 Contemporary Workplaces, a 320 pages book edited by Kerstin Zumstein and Helen Parton featuring fifty office projects from around the world.

To the bastard store by studiometrico  the editors dedicated four pages with pictures by Giuliano Berarducci.

The book is now available at the bastard store – as usual – and costs € 30,00.

Edo Paris, store manager at the bastard store, got the cover on 6:00 AM 57, August/September issue, with this big frontside heelflip on the infamous Quarto Oggiaro bumps.
Inside the mag his interview and the bastard ad campaign Our Friends Are Our Heroes that features him.

To top it off, in this same issue interview to Claudio Jep Bernardini (CEO at bastard) for celebrating his 40th birthday.
Bastard summer?

Bauli, a.k.a. Marco Lambertucci has recently been published on the Transworld Skateboarding website with a nice video feature for the Blind Sunday Fundays series.

Enjoy the trailer of Un tranquillo weekeend da paura, the biggest miniramp contest in Italy that goes for four days and this year has on stage playing Salmo, Casino Royale and Sud Sound System!

I have been waiting for this shade for a long time because riding a scooter at night has some requirements… and a bug that sticks in your eye while riding at 60 mph is not nice.

The Knuckle night rider model of the new Electric Loveless collection with clear silver chrome lens is just perfect for low to no-light conditions.
It just arrived today at bastard store and costs € 104,00.

Sardinia keeps on producing great skaters so it makes no surprise Luca on the cover of a brief glance issue n.8, online since a few hours, with this nollie heelflip shot by Davide Biondani.

Marco Lambertucci has five pages screens with the Nike SB Texture Tour.

The Launch Party #30 took place on Wednesday July 20^th with the preview presentation of the bastard, Electric and JART Spring Summer 2012 collections.

As usual Fresco distribution topped it off with their selection of  Lakai and Makia products.

Now a well deserved vacation is awaiting us, except for the sales reps who will be on pre sales campaign until late September.

From now on the upstairs showroom space at the bastard store will be open almost everyday for pre-sales on appointment until Sept. 20^th.

The Green Lantern Power Ring grants unimaginable powers, among which flying at lighting speed. However it requires a recharging time in order to keep working.
Likewise, Edo Paris is capable of flying at incredibile speeds in many Milano spots, like the Bumps of Quarto Oggiaro, then needing a few relaxing days provided with cold beers and mellower sessions along with his long time friends, as in this frontside ollie at the bastard bowl.

Today I’m happy to suggest a good summer book. The Milano Criminale slipcase.

For those who don’t know Milano Criminale is a comic series about the Milan 70s criminal underworld. Bell-bottom trousers, mustaches, hot pursuit with glorious italian cars.
If you want to delve into the series take a tour on Diegozilla, the blog of Diego Cajelli, author of the series.

The limited edition slipcase “Milano Criminale – La città esige vendetta” contains three books of the last series and a fine art print signed by the authors.

Available at the bastard store.
