Bomboogie Blueboat

This is one of my customer and these few shots are from the Blueboat collection.
They have presented the last season (SS 2011) few days ago at Pitti Uomo in Florence and it was great success for the line!

Customer have appreciate this small but very focused part of the collection and the mood was very good.

The line is a modern and urban view of some classic theme: the Navy, Sailor and military oriented Marine Gear. I have cooperated with the head designer of the company in increase and upgrade most of the classic items starting from the Peacoat, till the re-invention of the denim: offering a fine cordura-cotton blend for deck chino, and for classic five pockets.
My job was also focused in the research of new kind of graphic style for labels and hangtags, inspired by the ships panel that you will find inside the decks.

The collection is part of the main line, Bomboogie, that you will see there:

G-Shock reinvented: the DW-5600 become the GX-56

After being at the Casio meeting for the new Italian based office, and have seen with my eyes the prototype of new GX-56 I have understand (no doubt!) that the guys @ casio they are so smart.

This new GX-56 is the way the DW-5600 an icon for Casio G-Shock production (do you remember it at the wrist of Keanu Reeves on "Speed" Movie?) will be in the future.

New structure, new design , new size, more stronger and more "bad".

A touch of color was added to the dial and the new size (increased about of 20%) will put this new GX-56 at the side of the other classic of the past (DW-8400 "Mudman" and DW-8300 Stargate")

The DW-5600, by the way, still remain in production and a new model with carbon fiber strap it was presented few days ago.

Definitely, this GX-56 it will be mine as soon it will be available on the market, about the first week of July!

Rhodia Notebooks

They are perfect companion if you need to drop a note or a sketch or just write some impression.
In japan I have find a new model that is called "Meeting Book" and is very useful.
It's made in three section, each section provide space for a specific action and purpose.

There are few others notebooks that I like.
The ultimate type is the Field Notes line: http://fieldnotesbrand.com/ I love them.

They are inspired to the "agricultural memo books" and made in USA upon great quality standards.
Che it out also the "Mnemosyne Notebooks" another new line of notepad, memo books, "to do" list small pad.... I bought few pieces in japan and I find them so useful in office, cause they are design to help to organize note, ideas and any kind of information and data.
