Fabrica

From idea to object, in our own workshop.

We engineer and build the physical side of every experience: kinetic installations, custom electronics, sensors and the hardware that connects them to software.

FeaturedKinetic Installation at the Nike House of Innovation, Paris

1,500 m²

Our own workshop in Germany, shared with Exponatwerke.

In-house

Electronics, mechanics and software built by one team.

Remote

Monitoring and updates for installations that run for years.

What we build

Kinetic & responsive objects

Sculptures and surfaces that move with people, like the kinetic stations for Nike's Air Max DN8 launch.

Custom PCBs & electronics

Bespoke boards, controllers and firmware, designed and assembled for each installation.

IoT & sensor networks

RFID, depth cameras and sensors connected to real-time backends, so spaces know who's there and react.

Human interface devices

Our own trackers, pressure mats, balance boards and motion controllers, plus custom inputs when nothing off the shelf fits.

Our own workshop, and a global network.

We run our own fabrication in Germany, sharing the workshop with Exponatwerke. For projects abroad we build with trusted partners across Germany, the UK, the UAE, the USA, Latin America and Asia.

We specialise in kinetic, IoT and interactive experiences, and love to collaborate with other fabrication partners.

The Fabrica sits next to our designers and developers, so prototypes, PCBs and finished builds come out of one team. We design the electronics, write the firmware, fabricate the objects and install them on site.

Everything is engineered for the real world: robust enough for thousands of hands, easy to transport and service, and connected so we can monitor and update it remotely.
