Cocca is a really charming shop in Daikanyama that makes their own fabric for use in clothing, accessories, interior good and numerous other items. The uniqueness of the designs and the quality of the fabric makes for really great items. That’s what excited me about working with the poeple at Cocca on a series of Rhythm Pumpkin umbrellas. Here’s a shot of the items in the Cocca showroom.

When I first started DiCesare, we only had one parasol design (the Parashell). Then I made another (the Kabocha) Pumpkin Parasol and from that a Women’s umbrella was made (the Rhythm) Pumpkin Umbrella. Recently, we have come out with a Men’s umbrella called the GRANDE Pumpkin Umbrella. It is similar to the Rhythm in style but larger and stronger with a more robust handle. Recently TEMPS magazine did a story on it and interviewed me about the design.

These are some gesture drawings I made for the Parashell parasol. These don’t serve any technical purpose but help in fleshing out the shape of future prototype concepts.
Once again DiCesare Designs items were on display at Matsuya Ginza Department Store the biggest umbrella show in Japan! This year we displayed our latest collection at our booth beneath a great display of several hundred hanging umbrellas in Matsuya’s main hall. I got a chance to meet a lot of interesting people and see their reaction to the designs. It was also interesting to see their reaction to my at times incomprehensible Japanese language skills. An annual event not to be missed by any umbrella connaisseur.
I went down to J-Wave for an interview with Andy Pompilio this week. It was the first time that I’ve been interviewed so I have to admit, I was a little nervous. Andy did his best to make me feel relaxed enough to get through the interview smoothly. He is so laid back and that rubbed off on me.
彫刻は私の情熱だ。子供の頃からそうでした。私にとって傘やパラソルのデザインは、彫刻と建築の中間に位置する。試作品のために木彫りをすることもある。還元的な彫刻は私の得意分野ではないかもしれませんが、多くの喜びをもたらしてくれます。
