.. Apple Macintosh Computer and Apple Cinema Dislpay MonitorOf course, everybody’s got his own idea about the best computers for creatives, but for us there is one and only choice for creative ideas...

Wacom TabletThere are many different kinds and different prices of Wacom drawing tablets, in any case choose one and start creating.

Printer/Scanner/Fax/Copier...‘cause you need to print your ideas on paper and have a pysical touching sensation and view about how things are going on during your creative process. Sometimes you also need to scan a picture, send a fax so that’s why we suggest an All-in-One printer.

External DriveStorage in never enough when you must save your works, choose an extra external drive to keep your Mac’s harddrive lighter and faster.

Huey ProYour monitor needs to be calibrated with the same colours you’ll see on printing: “See what you print and print what you see”.

Pantone Color palettePantone colors is a standard reference for graphics and printers so this is why we use these palettes to choose the best colors for our works.

Professional Camera + SD cardreaderIf you need a good picture and your iPhone is not enought.

Backup Power saving unitIf a blackout arrives when you are working you don’t have to suicide ‘cause your job wasn’t saved and you save yourself from potential injuries (smashing your head on the desk).

Pantone Coffee MugCoffee is our daily fuel so you need the right mug to refuel.

Wacom Intuos Pen&Touch TabletWe told before that there are many different kinds and prices of Wacom tablets, this is the lighter, smaller and wirless you can find if you have to draw away from your office

iPhone + Pantone CaseOf course, everybody’s got his own idea also about smartphones, but for us there is one and only choice... and a real designer must protect his iPhone with a real designer’s bumper.

Lacie key DriveWe are not in the “all online and wifi world” yet, so sometimes we need to save and transfer data on a pendrive, this is an elegant way to share and save files with other computers.

Apple Magic MouseIf you have a Mac, this is the best wireless mouse of the world for design and technology. You can use it also with your Mac in your office.

MoleskineWhen a designer sometimes needs to write or draw ideas on paper.

Wacom Bamboo PenA real pen and you can also use it to draw on your iPhone.

Usb PowerbankWhen the battery of your iPhone is red and there is no electric plug around it’s the better way to recharge.
