Saint Genius + W-Base + FTC: FOR THE COUNTRY Featuring Nasty & Marco
After Japan was hit with the devastating earthquakes, tsunami and nuclear meltdown earlier this year, time’s have been tough for the people. This short documentary follows two talented Japanese fixed gear freestyle riders Teppei ‘Nasty’ Iwabuchi and Yuhei ‘Marco’ Hirose, on their first trip to San Francisco. Saint Genius shot the footage of the W-Base and FTC sponsored riders. Their skills on a fixie are very impressive, but what I found more moving was hearing their stories of how their positive attitudes and the Japanese pride in their culture has helped them overcome the natural disasters in Japan. I’ve got a lot of respect for these to dudes and wish them all the best in their future careers.
The Story Behind Ferrari’s Logo
Great watch to see the history and origin of the Ferrari logo –
“The horse was painted on the fuselage of the fighter plane of Francesco Baracca — a heroic airman of the first world war. In ’23, I met count Enrico Baracca, the hero’s father, and then his mother, countess Paulina, who said to me one day, ‘Ferrari, put my son’s prancing horse on your cars. It will bring you good luck’. The horse was, and still is, black, and I added the canary yellow background which is the colour of Modena.”

adidas Office Interior by KINZO
The adidas headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany has had a facelift. The 1,700 staff members moved into an amazing new work space that features intertwining glass walkways made to mimic the laces of a sneaker. Berlin design company KINZO set out to create something that would reflect adidas inside and out. The “Teamplayer” space is at the heart of the new design, supporting desktops, storage and creating a multi-functional room that looks like it’s zoned into honeycombs. In other words, the KINZO design team have created a space within a space. It lets separate teams have a specific section, but not be completely cut off from the other groups working inside the “Teamplayer”. The entire WORKOUT furniture system is designed specifically to meet the needs of the team, and work together as a system, rather than functioning as just individual pieces. German furniture specialist Planmöbel partnered with KINZO to create environmentally friendly, functional furniture sealed with a monolithic surface and a powder-coated finish.
