Design Lab is a group of artisan workshops. Everything’s handmade here.
The slow pace of working by hand gives you time to think, to focus on yourself. With no external pressure, only this rhythm can bring about real dialogue and the search for mutual skill and know-how. San Patrignano produces excellence; we search for beauty and rediscover the good that each young resident embarking on their personal journey has within them.
