PALOMAR
Palomar is a design company founded in Florence in 2001. The objects it designs and produces are radically
innovative for the new meanings they aspire to bring to our everyday life.
The objects are designed for the individual and many of them are the result of a contemporary cartographic
research (at a time where travelling is so crucial to our lives). Every project represents a sort of counter-melody to
the overwhelming digital technology mainstream: a resolute return to the analogue, a way of saying that a more
human, more ironic and possibly more attractive dimension can coexist with technology and its presumed
imperatives.

MISS WOOD
Miss Wood products are an original concept in decoration. The manufacturers
are dedicated to producing wooden and cork pieces - which they have given a
name; 'Woodies' - where design is paramount. The manufacturing process of
each Woody is simple, but takes time, as the process is completely done by
hand. They cut, paint and sandpaper each piece to then stamp their designs.
The result is a perfect piece to decorate any space.

places you've already visited and more importantly, all the ones left to
discover! Made from cork and printed using silkscreen printing method. There

colors. It also comes with 20 pins and a small paper with hanging instructions
