Tools Inc. is a creative platform that helps redefine the approach to design, craftsmanship, architecture, photography, and creativity in general. We believe in action rather than advice. We create, produce, direct, and publish under our own label (Tools Magazine, Tools Editions), while also undertaking bespoke commissions in the fields of art direction, interior architecture, product design, and image strategy. From the foundations to the roof, and from strategy to product and image, we conceive and execute comprehensive ecosystems of meaning and form.

The sixth issue of the annual magazine dedicated to the art of blowing and inflation highlights the mastery and techniques in the fields of design, craftsmanship, and industry. Through a historical perspective, factory reports, explorations of artisanal work, and iconic pieces, *Tools* offers a reflection on the concepts of blowing and inflation—both past and present—placing special emphasis on those who create the iconic objects of our daily lives and safeguard the stories that make up our collective imagination.
