Marin Medak began his markedly adventurous life during his university years. Since then he has kayaked solo more than 2500 km in the Adriatic and Mediterranean, and made a 500 km unsupported sea kayaking expedition along the coast of Croatia with Paralympian Gal Jakič. In 2011 Simon Osborne and Marin became the first to successfully paddle the coast of South Korea and in 2012 Marin led a 4-man Slovenian-British ocean rowing expedition across the Atlantic. His latest expedition consisted of a row from Tunisia to Turkey together with the Australian Huw Kingston. Marin is currently completing his degree in electrical engineering.
Odo Fioravanti studied Industrial Design at the Design Department of the Milan Polytechnic. Since 1998 he has worked as an industrial designer, and been experimenting with graphic and exhibition design, firm resolved to melt different design disciplines into a single continuous matter. He has taught at many design schools and academies and his work has been featured in numerous international exhibitions. In 2010 the Design Museum of the Triennale di Milano featured a solo exhibition of his work entitled “Industrious Design”. In 2011 he won the “Compasso d’Oro Prize ADI” with the Frida wooden chair by Pedrali. Since 2006 he has run the Odo Fioravanti Design Studio, developing projects for various companies.
