The Lab
Asperastra Space
A workshop in Trieste equipped with tools and machinery for designing, prototyping, and building digital objects and systems.
How to Use the Lab
Our machines aren't just on display—they're there to be used. Members can work on them for more than 150 days a year.
We’re located at Corso Cavour 2/2, in Trieste. Our facilities cover every stage of an idea’s journey: from the initial design to the first prototype, all the way to the finished product.
