Poolplayers are like many little aliens. They have to live their own lives here between earthmen, but at heart, they are on their own planet made of numbers and colors; they speak an unknown language to others, and always about the same subject: Rolling Balls… I’m Francesco Tomati, I have played pool a dozen years, more or less. I’m one of those strange creatures that use any rectangular shape, be it a cigarette pack or a window, to debate playing situations with anyone. We can see balls and pockets everywhere, where no one could even imagine, and, above all, if we find any pool-related gadget, we buy two of them. |

Following the Italian motto: “If you can’t get out of the tunnel, furnish it”, I decided to create a pool- related clothing line, favouring the unhealthy wishes of myself first, and of all those people hopelessly contaminated by The Virus. Maybe my architectural studies, or my experience in the design field helped me in this crazy attempt, but I’m not so sure of it. I’d rather say that spending years looking for (and seldom finding) good products to be able to “wear”, and my addiction pushed me towards this enterprise – in which being my first customer myself, I decided to focus on quality above everything else. |
