How 'beat' was born?
'beat' was born from the desire of designing projects, let's say ... in an independent and complete way. Not just pure design, but research of new fabrics and materials ... coordinating production ideas and offering a variety of technical solutions in different fields.
Basically ... the products are seen through the "idea stage", to prototypes, then supervised and coordinated until they go to market.
An exchange between different environments is important and to create it ... in my opinion, moving between many fields helps building ideas.
What does “beat” mean?
'beat' like 'BEAT GENERATION', which is a term used to describe a group of American writers who came to prominence in the 1950s (Kerouac, Corso, Ginsberg).
But .. 'beat' like 'heart beat' as well, the first sound which every human being uses to communicate that he/she is alive.
Why is 'follow the read beat' your pay off?
It comes from the assonance between "follow the read beat" and "follow the rabbit". 'Alice in wonderland' follows the rabbit. On the other hand it's a way to say to people to follow my projects and maybe find their "wonderland".
Where does inspiration comes from?
Everywhere.
