The Factory

In 2012 fuse* moved to a former country house that at the beginning of the 20th century was a school. The renovation of the space was followed by the architect Fabrizio Gruppini, with the aim of maintaining a memory of the original building and at the same time giving a contemporary flavor to the house. The space has been designed to catalyze work in multidisciplinary teams, stimulate sharing and nurture creativity.
