ink on cartiera magnani paper 16" by 6" / mini catalogues 2" by 2"
The coffee pot hat

is a morning hat. The position of the lid is optional and also implies a certain mood, i.e.: talkative mood (open) or silent, quiet morning (closed).

It comes with a lasting Colombian coffee scent incorporated.

Not recommended for decaf drinkers.

 

The baloon hat

A playful design that makes the person appear light and fresh, we encourage wearing it with high heels and a moon-like style walk. Notice that by feeling the lightness, you'll probably act like a better person than you really are. Take notice of this because you'll be committed to your own good actions.

The spaghetti hat

This is the classic, foundational hat that started our collezione. A creation of Martin Roo, the spaghetti is a metaphor of complicated, entangled, thoughts, but is also an invitation to gather around the table with friends or family, red wine and pasta!

No side effects unless you wear it to an inappropriate event such as a gala where the actual pasta smell might not be welcomed.
The stage hat

This is one of the most creative items in our collezione. It was designed with interchangeable miniature figurines that may be combined in infinite manners.

The owner 'stages' her/his hat by positioning the dolls according to the situation, for example, first date, wedding proposal, funeral, and of course to go to the theater.

Not recommended for meetings with theater related people like set or costume designers, choreographers, etc.

The tricycle hat

This is a very nice hat that can be worn daily. It is perfect to meet old friends, casual meetings in a cafe, and to visit your shrink.

Side effects: Possibility of reviving either non-desirable memories or very exciting -sometimes excessively- memories.

 

The spinning hat

Ideal for antique shopping, going to concerts, walking through the Haight Ashbury district whistling old songs.

Keep in mind the song you choose to sing can show your age.
