We are in the business of redefining the semantic field of products with the aim of improving human life and having an impact on society. We have a multidisciplinary team, composed of designers, architects, psychologists, biologists, material and computer engineers, etc. We have a digital manufacturing fablab (3D printers, lasercut, CNC, etc.) and digital biofabrication that we can make available.
