The Electrolux Innovation Factory transforms 1,000 sqm of industrial space at the Porcia (PN) plant into a hub for research, development, and open innovation.

The project enhances the original industrial aesthetic, shaping collaborative, creative, and operational zones for the Industry 4.0 innovation community.

Electrolux Innovation Factory

The Electrolux Innovation Factory was conceived as a platform for open innovation, designed to promote exchange, experimentation, and cross-contamination among R&D departments, startups, and external partners. The intervention interprets the existing industrial shell, retaining original floors and vaulted ceilings while organizing 1,000 sqm into complementary spaces: a Self Café and relaxation zone, a Creative Area featuring a central natural tree, an operational open space along with a startup section, adaptable conference rooms, and a Flexy Area. A wooden stepped seating structure leads up to an elevated Terrace with private booths. Exposed systems, raw materials, movable furnishings, and high visual permeability ensure flexibility, reconfigurability, and a strong industrial identity.
The Electrolux Innovation Factory establishes itself as a regional catalyst for open innovation, a laboratory where industrial aesthetics, technology, and ongoing collaboration converge.
