Fabrica Design

Launched in 2001, Fabrica Features is the name of a series of retail shops that sell design articles and double as multiethnic and multimedia spaces where exhibitions, screenings, live performances and workshops offer major opportunities for people to meet. The Fabrica Features stores facilitate a commercial exchange of art and a fusion of cultural events in a global network.  Today, Fabrica Features spaces are in Bologna (Italy), Lisbon and Istanbul (Turkey), with ‘temporary stores’ in Paris (France), Rotterdam (The Netherlands), London (UK) and Porto (Portugal).

Fabrica Features is also the name of a dynamically evolving series of products designed by Fabrica’s young designers. These products, which include sketchbooks, bags, boxes, jewels, ceramics, glass objects and special collections, embody Fabrica’s values of novelty, collaboration and diversity of thought. They challenge conformities by posing subtle interventions to daily routines and realities. The Fabrica collections are available in the Fabrica Features stores and in a wide range of international outlets, cultural and specialized stores and art museums.

Fabrica’s innovative style concept also interests industrial concerns: this makes it possible to work for leading international brands like Metalarte, Casamania by Frezza, Paola C., BD Ediçiones de Diseno, Bosa Ceramics, Bi-silque, Olfaire, Diamantini & Domeniconi, Secondome, Zanotta and, most recently, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice for which in 2008 Fabrica created a mini collection of objects celebrating the museum’s 60th anniversary.
