Who is behind Ulap?
hi, we are cris and andrea.
Entrepreneurs and co-founders of Ulap, together in work and in private life. We have joined our forces and skills to create an ethical and sustainable company project to promote the slow philosophy.
The purpose of all this? Doing what is in our power to leave to others, and to our daughters (The Three Storm Sisters), a better world. And, one step at a time, we continue to go beyond the curve.
slow culture
In Ulap we promote the Slow Movement, because through it we leave our contribution to the Planet. Today more than ever we need responsible people who inhabit our world with awareness, respect and faith in the future.
To do this, we can follow the slow philosophy, which invites us not so much to slow down as to use our time well. An approach that favors quality over quantity, making it possible to achieve better and more useful results for the community.
The slow philosophy can be applied to multiple areas of life: from food to design, from communication to parenting. Various dimensions coexist in the Ulap ecosystem which, together, allow us to stimulate our community to embrace change and experience the world with awareness.

Andrea is the creative mind behind all our projects. Studies in art behind him, he has traveled extensively – especially in Asia – always curious to find out what lies beyond the bend.
SUPER POWERS: optimistic, imaginative, lives suspended in the magical world of mini ponies.
HIS MOTTO: “I trust”.
Cris Tumedei
co-founder / strategist
Cris is the strategic mind behind all our projects. International studies behind him, he has faced many – damn life! – always curious to find out what else he is capable of.
SUPER POWERS: determined, visionary, always goes without fail.
HER MOTTO: “Said is not done”.
cris' culture
“Don’t put me next to those who complain
without ever looking up,
to those who can’t say thank you,
to those who can’t notice more than a sunset.
I close my eyes, take a step away.
I am other.
I’m elsewhere.”
– Alda Merini
OUR VISION

An approach that favors quality over quantity, making it possible to achieve better and more useful results for the community".
