We want to reclaim the human relationships, the connection with the context and the feelings towards the material world and the craftsmanship. We go for the exploration, being independent, brave, authentic, honest and free. We refuse authorities and grids. Being pioneers, we are always seeking for beauty. It is more like a tendency than a destination. It connects soul and body, aesthetic and intim
ate, moral and material worlds. It is our catalyst for change.
SUPERLOCAL 0, miles production invites the people to explore the world of local production by learning and making. We design new production scenarios for daily life objects. Production happens not just to maximize efficiency but it addresses environmental and social viability. We bring design, production and education into one methodology developed during the last three years. We organize local productions, production tours and lecturers in order to teach to the public how daily life products are made. In this way, production becomes a way of learning and to support participation. Together with various institution such as the Design Academy Eindhoven (NL) EDHV365 Studio (NL) the University of Bolzano (IT) the Design Museum (UK) and Z33 (BE), we organize hands-on workshops to immerse the visitors into a production experience and make them learn how to make products while getting to know a specific geographic area. The production area taken into consideration is always within a bike ride distance (2.5 km). We believe in the power of networks as new generators of economic and social value. At SUPERLOCAL, together with an international community of craftsmen, design studios, students and organizations, we believe that understanding the production encourages a more sustainable evolution.
