Our mission

Keep the craft in the room.

Show it, test it with a new tool, then talk about it with someone who did not grow up with it. The tools document and prototype. They do not replace inheritors.

Why Milan

A city that already looks at making.

Bovisa sits beside Politecnico di Milano. Fabmi uses that proximity so Chinese craft, Italian design education and new tools can share one room.
