In the picture above Lorenzo Bini of studiometrico talks about the COMVERT HQ during an Architecture lecture at UNPLUGGED ITALY: Italian architecture in Oslo some days ago.
For the occasion a booklet with three projects (our own is in) has been published: 090426-plug-sm.pdf [16,2 MB]
We feel observed…
On Interni 53, special issue attached to Panorama, they just published a review on COMVERT HQ. On the two pages by Anita Martinelli, let alone a couple of tiny mistakes, we can see three nice photos of Giuliano Berarducci. For you, trustee readers of this blog, I believe COMVERT HQ has no more secrets, but in attachment you have the fuori salone guide, which lists events, parties and whatever else is of interest during Salone del Mobile 2009. See you around for an appletini toast!
A few days ago Current TV published this video report about bastard, and the grand opening of the new COMVERT HQ: ONLYWOOD Prima Visione. In the video there are a few images of the party with a some skate footage with our good friend Igor Fardin (white hat) and Daniel Cardone. The video is filmed and edited by Brandon.
On the new Diana Manfredi’s blog there are the pictures of the Underskatement Film Festival that we hosted in december in our new space in Milano.
Nikolai Danov - Skateboard Magazine cover
On the cover of issue 61 of the italian Skateboard Magazine there is a great shoot of Nikolai Danov doing a salad grind on a rail by Mirai Pulvirenti about. Good job guys! Inside 12 pages about Fresco tour in Puglia with Nikolai and 12 pages about the tour of the DC team Italy with Danny Galli. There are also a couple of pages with the press release of the COMVERT HQ.
!UPDATE: On SkateMap.it the video of the Fresco tour. It’s worthy.
Yesterday we have been very honoured to welcome the visit of Prof. Mario Antonio Arnaboldi, a well known Architect and Professor with a very special relationship with both COMVERT HQ and Bastard Bowl.
On archinfo.it is published an article with the details of the bastard bowl construction, illustrations and a general view of the COMVERT Headquarter project.
On domus web there is an article with the main project and a few pics.
ITALIAN LANGUAGE ONLY.
They used a shot of Daniel Cardone frontside flippin over the extension of the bowl, taken by Giuliano Berarducci the day after the Grand Opening (ONLYWOOD), I put here the original pic at a better resolution.

Below what appeared today (Tuesday, October 28) on the italian newspaper La Repubblica. It talks about bastard and the new COMVERT HeadQuarter projectated by studiometrico. The grand opening happened on last friday night with a party named ONLYWOOD that left a mark in the over twothousands partecipants!
Below some blogs that covered the event and published pics and interviews (italian language only):
International free drinks
In the fancy world of skateboarding the word “international” is often used and abused, international riders, international videos, international contests, international tours, etc. To live up to this world we made these international free drink cards that are going to be used during ONLYWOOD, PRIMA VISIONE. With the aid of some friends and the usual resources (we are nerds) we wrote and translated the word “Cheers” in many languages.
So, if friday night during the party an attractive girl gives you one of these yellow tickets, don’t use it for filters right away, but hold onto it because it’ll come handy to quench your thirst.
This friday there is the Grand Opening of the new COMVERT headquarter in the old Cinema Istria in Milano.
Most likely the readers of this blog already got the tickets to get in.
