Digital & design: contemporary Florence

Florence, the city of art and the Renaissance. But how is this creativity expressed today?

With this itinerary, we would like to take you on a discovery of some of the contemporary and avant-garde realities that animate craft and creative production in the metropolitan city. Not only pen and paper, but also modelling programmes, laser cutters, CNC milling machines, scanners, 3D printers in resin, ceramic PLA and many other materials are the tools, the instruments used by today's craftsmen.

Attention to form, lines and movements, combined with an intense study of composition technique, is what binds the realities presented here, concrete examples of realities that have been able to read the novelties of taste and technique and make them their own, using them to give life to design projects of great quality.

The craftspeople you will meet along this route are the mirror of the contemporary: the ingenuity that feeds off the modern clientele listens to and fulfils the needs of a society on the move, in constant search of creations of quality, beauty and in harmony with the meaning of existence. Some realities are distant from each other, both in terms of physical distance and workmanship, nevertheless they are distinguished by a unique design and an uninhabitable character, which makes them undisputed protagonists of contemporary Florence.

Discover the places of doing and the enterprises we have selected, and let yourself be surprised by the most innovative side of craftsmanship!
