Fabrica’s young designers are working on innovative products, interior design and industrial design projects. Showing a unique approach to design and creativity, their capacities are not only technical but also intellectual, in their way of arguing, articulating and differentiating their responses to the proposals and subjects they are confronted with. These must reflect a position towards the world around us, with its mass production and exclusive elements, with its unbalanced aspects and its hopes.
Fabrica launched Fabrica Features in Bologna in September 2001. Fabrica Features are retail spaces that sell the brand’s design articles and double as multiethnic and multimedia spaces where concerts, screenings, live performances and workshops offer major opportunities for people to meet. Today, Fabrica Features spaces are also in Lisbon, Istambul and in Hong Kong, with “temporary stores” in Paris, Rotterdam, London and Porto.
Fabrica’s innovative style concept also interests industrial concerns: this makes it possible to work with leading international brands like Metalarte, Casamania by Frezza, Paola C., BD Ediçiones de Diseno, Bosa Ceramics and, most recently, Diamantini & Domeniconi, Secondome and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice . Projects developed at Fabrica arise through speculation on the habitat of tomorrow, questioning furniture, lighting, objects, as well as the use and management of the selling space.
