Waiting for the bus is a fascinating journey of recovering the richest Italian craftsmanship, from South to North, discovering objects and materials in which Made in Italy is still tradition, research, passion, the work of hands that know how to transform raw materials into artifacts with an irresistible charm, according to ancient stories of rare beauty, handed down through the centuries. With a look at the ethics of production and the global culture of the project, the Wftb catalog is a contemporary notebook through which to reach the most remote places of the Peninsula to learn the artisanal processes of the different communities, applying this learning to new and unpredictable projects, creating an intersection between the mastery of traditional technique and the invention of a new and poetic, personal and specific vocabulary of objects. A tour in search of an answer to the risks of mass production, with the desire to protect production processes and local identities. A journey that generates' souvenirs' that Wftb reinterprets in a contemporary key. The challenge is to republish what is beautiful and well done; to make current what has a thousand-year history, without losing its memory. Know-how as a bridge between past and present. The tradition that becomes design and that dictates the rules of an aesthetic without time or boundaries.
