bastard blog

This week the work on the bowl site slowed down a bit due to some building components not easy to produce… and the Polish worker (a.k.a. Marcin Solecki) being injured at the Parco Lambro skatepark. Nothing too serious and he’ll be back on board soon. On the other hand Giuliano Berarducci joined us to document the site with pictures beside working on a couple of parallel projects that sound pretty interesting.

Giuliano is the founder of the roman skateshop First Love, creator of the fanzine OrangeValleyEnt and he takes quality skatebording shots since 2001. He is one of the few Italian photographers that sport pictures published on Skateboarder, Thrasher and The Skateboard Mag. When he is not stuck in Milano he works for Affiliate in Chicago.

It seems those eminent doctors from ADI even spotted some good news through the usual big brands of italian design.

The clever RHINO bastard is small but strong! With sure rams he got a rilevant place on the pages of ADI Design Index, amongst the bunch of renowned signatures like Pininfarina or Renzo Piano.

Since 1954 the ADI foundation for italian design holds every year the Compasso d’Oro prize, for notable results in projects, products and research that took place inside the national boundaries.

The best wishes are all for Enrique Luis Sardi, because he’s the friend who tamed the beast, together with the precious hints of our man, Max Bonassi.

Marcin Solecki has been recruited for the bastard bowl.

Below some pics of the last days on site.

Today we received nuts, bolts, screws etc. from Fixing Systems for the assembly of the bastard bowl that we’ll start to build during the next week… it’s a 200 Kg. box with 8200 pieces inside!

These are the parts for the structure only, the layers are excluded… what a useless wooden toy!
