Brenno Itani and beautiful Bologna: best places and crazy things
Brenno Itani aka Bresco Baby aka Mascar Ambassador: the style of Bolo. Brenno Itani, or Brennone, is an out-of-the-ordinary person, his style is larger than life...Originally, this piece was born from an easy chat with a friend, a multimedia artist, streetpreneur and viveur bolognese of the new generation, but then a delirium of spritz, super tips and absurd stories that concern one of the coolest and most cult places in Italy, or Bologna, has changed everything. We took advantage of it, we put everything together with Wood'd, and we put together a blog interview with Brenno Itani, otherwise known as [...]
FunkRimini: a journey into the boomin’ sound
FunkRimini, Flowsane, and the animal funk approach.   After a first EP published in 2016, which had made them known (and praised) by both public and specialized press, FunkRimini re-emerge from the summer tides of their native Riviera with their debut LP: Flowsane. Thirteen tracks for an abundant hour of music, including future funk, nu-soul and disco-boogie, all rigorously recorded in analogue.

A mix of unpublished and unreleased joints, you know? Here, we have [...]

Verona and its people rock, without a doubt. Verona is an amazing place, divided in two parts by the Adige river, its center enclosed by ancient walls. This city is all surprises and no boredom, 100% fun. So, just forget for a second about Romeo, Juliet, and the ancient roman Arena.

Clément Marin and a whole new definition of calligraphy
Clément Marin, or the future of calligraphy, for instance. We've stumbled upon Clément Marin's body of work a few months ago, while surfing the infinite Instagram feed. We've clicked on his profile and read: 20 years old - lettres à main - Pau, France. His lettering style was personal, respectful of the past yet innovative. He didn't care to follow minimalist or metropolitan trends. We suddenly fell in love with his craft. We've called him straight away like: "Hi Clément, Wood'd speaking. Would you mind joining the Design Stories collection? It's our column dedicated to interviews and collaborations with our favorite artists". As you can see the response was positive, [...]
These brand are reshaping the idea of sustainability
How's the industry really reshaping sustainability? The fact that oceans and seas are full of plastic, that pollution is changing the climate and ecosystem of our planet, it means just one thing: time to act is now! This is also confirmed by the fact that a large part of the creative, fashion and design industries have become aware of the problem and are rethinking their production and distribution chain with a single objective: to check sustainability. We already spoke about this issue in two previous blog posts. In the first one, we explained our very personal approach to the theme, while in the second one we suggested [...]
