5 talks at conferences
We participated and presented our work and approach at 5 conferences:
at Google Current we told our story to Google’s creative teams, at Desina in Naples we showcased our work in front of an unexpected audience, in November we participated at Adoratorio’s 10th birthday in Brescia with MSCHF, Timoty Thompson, Atio Studio and other great creatives, we also gave talks at the Zaha Hadid x Karimoku exhibition in Milan during the Design Week, and at Geiger Foundation in Basel for the opening of Bid(s) for Survival. Roots.
Other than those we still held our courses at POLIMI, CFP Bauer and Raffles and gave workshops or lectures at IED, UNIRSM, NABA, and to a big crowd of super young students at Liceo Artistico di Monza.
6 months to build our management dashboard
This year we spent a lot of time on a digital tool that manages all of our operations.
In 2025 we’ll release a demo for others to try. It tackles things like estimates, budgets, invoices, project timelines, time management, studio capacity.
If you struggle to find the right app to manage your internal processes, get in touch, we may have the right one for you.
7 rooms of Bid(s) for Survival
In May and in September we scanned the exhibitions The End of Aging and Roots at KBH.G in Basel and transformed them into immersive online twins.
