Simon Jacomet escogió el modelo de Preventi que lleva su nombre para los 10 esenciales que compartía hace un par de meses en la revista GQ. El responsable de Zai, firma de esquíes de híper lujo, muestra debilidad por todo aquello que auna estética refinada, funcionalidad y excelencia. Hemos seleccionado algunos de sus preferidos.
Preventi.
“Preventi me contactó para su proyecto Global Nomads [un grupo de personas que comparten la misma idea de lo que la calidad de Preventi representa ]. Me mandaron un par de sus zapatos de piel y me gustaron porque puedes sentir el trabajo artesanal que hay en ellos cuando caminas. Me hicieron sentir diferente – con los zapatos normales te sientes plano, pero con estos, te alzas un poco, y eso fue una nueva experiencia al andar.”

“Estoy construyendo una nueva casa para mi familia, así que a menudo corto troncos. Cuando eramos jóvenes nos hicimos una casa en las montañas nosotros mismos – queríamos enseñar a nuestros hijos que una casa no cae del cielo. Para mi, construir equilibra lo que hago en Zai. Dedico los sábados cortando y serrando- empiezas temprano por la mañana y acabas por la tarde, y en cierto sentido es como meditar. Tenemos nuestros propios bosques, así que los árboles de allí se convertirán en parte de la casa. Hay algo de muy satisfactorio y tangible en todo esto.”
Pelador de vegetales REX
“He sido vegetariano durante diez años, así que preparo un montón de platos tradicionales suizos de esta región – sobre todo comida de campo que incluye un montón de vegetales. Este pelador es una obra maestra de diseño que sumo a mi placer por cocinar. Quizá no es un producto que entre por la vista, como lo hacen muchas cosas hoy en día – pero en una segunda mirada, quizá sí.”

Simon Jacomet selected the Preventi shoes model under his name for the 10 essentials he shared in GQ magazine two months ago. The Swiss creator of Zai, a super-luxe ski company, shows his love for everything that joins beauty, functionality and excellence. Here 3 of 10:
Preventi.
“Preventi contacted me for their Nomad project [a collection of people who have the same idea of workmanship as Preventi]. They sent me a pair of their leather shoes, and I liked them because you can feel the craftsmanship when walking in them. They make me feel different—normal shoes feel flat, but with these, you roll a bit, and it was a new experience in walking.”

“I’m building a new house for my family, so I’m often cutting boards and beams. When we were younger, we built our house in the mountains all by ourselves—we wanted to show our children that a house doesn’t just fall from the sky. For me, building is a good balance to what I do at Zai. I spend Saturdays cutting and sawing—you start early in the morning and end in the evening, and in a certain way it’s a meditation. We have our own woods, so the trees there will become part of the house. There’s something very satisfying and tangible about this.”
REX vegetable peeler
“I’ve been a vegetarian for about 10 years, so I prepare a lot of traditional Swiss dishes from this region—mostly peasant food that includes a lot of vegetables. This peeler is a masterpiece of design and adds to my pleasure in cooking. It’s not necessarily an eye-catching product, as nowadays most products are—but on the second look, maybe it is.”
