About Maker Lab Milan 2011

At the MakerLab: Milan, we will provide a focal point for the community to take actions to positively hack their urban environment.
Bringing tools, resources and expertise from Berlin, the MakerLab: Milan will collaborate directly with different elements of the Milan Maker, Hacker and Public Culture to share skills, ideas and products with which the community of Milan can engage in a physical dialogue with their public space.

Hack your city
In tune with the Salone del Mobile and the Public Design Festival we will run a Chair Hacking workshop. We will Invite people to bring their own chairs, and locally found materials, then hack, modify and up-cycle them. With this workshop we are trying to change the passive behaviour of people towards their city and challenge them to take an active role in shaping their public space.

Parallel to this we will open and share our mobile-workshop space, where the Public from Milan and all its visitors can exchange production skills, and apply them to the coproduction of their own urban environment.

Finally, we will also challenge the conception of creative ownership by inviting designers to bring their latest chair’ design to be hacked publicly.
