SEPTEMBER 2011 Website: Pentrilo

I have always liked to observe people during a very specific moment in our lives: the moment of picking up a roller or a brush and starting to paint a surface, that moment has some magic. Painting is something that renews spaces, that fills them with life, that gives them something like a new opportunity.

Today I come to tell you that I have been lucky enough to meet a family that is closely related to this creativity. No, it is not a manufacturer of paints... but rather of rollers.

Pentrilo began in the early 50s. The first rollers were made of natural wool and were manufactured by hand to later be sold in the port of Barcelona. Currently Pentrilo is a third-generation family company that already has more than one hundred people dedicated to studying, manufacturing and marketing the best products for the painter-decorator. 

Don't miss this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTyInUh9-7M if you want to smile for a few moments. It contains a nice wink that will most likely take them back to a remote childhood.
