Tonino Lane aka Antonio Laraia
In the land of Noilab 2, there’s a special corner of Craft World that’s truly a sight to behold. Owned and built by the amazing Tonino Lane, it’s a true celebration of craftsmanship, both ancient and modern. It’s a unique experience, especially in Craft World Opensim, where the real hands that make it a visitable and livable world are just keyboard gestures.
The craft village in Noilab 2, builder Tonino Lane
But it is precisely with these gestures, with these touches on the keys of the pc, that Tonino Lane wanted to and was able to replicate the miracle of the artisan hands that shape natural materials, such as iron, wood, clay, hemp.
From wheat to flour, in the miller’s workshop
And all the craftsmanship, which is obviously virtual, is supported by renewable energy, the production techniques of which are also faithfully reconstructed.
The mill, from olives to oil
Tonino Lane’s visionary approach seamlessly integrates ancient artisan crafts with the contemporary pursuit of energy conservation, fostering a harmonious relationship with our planet.
The blacksmith’s workshop
This unparalleled fusion of tradition and innovation celebrates the noble art of manual labor, ensuring that dignity and well-being continue to flourish, even amidst the challenges of toil and sacrifice, as has been the case since time immemorial. Tonino Lane’s craft village in Noilab 2 has found in Sergej Zarf a valuable divulgator.

The video he made about the complexity of the mechanisms created by Tonino Lane with primitives is truly an eye-opener. It allows us to appreciate not only the skill of the builder, but also the beauty of the gestures of times and crafts that are disappearing and that in Noilab 2 have found a refuge from forgetfulness.
