Asta Pubblica translates from Italian to Public Auction. It all started with old pianola scrolls hanging in the windows of an empty shop front in Fitzroy North, Victoria Australia. As the locals wandered past and stopped to read the scrolls of old paper with their lyrics and paper cut holes in beautiful patterns, an idea started to form. What if we put things in the windows that people actually wanted to buy!
Pondering how much unsustainable crap is being produced and then shipped around and around the globe, I decided that this little shop was going to be a place for hand made, local designs and art, made from either re-used, recycled, natural or locally produced materials. Sustainable things for sale, Public Sale.
