First established in Milan in 2003, One-Off is a rapid prototyping service specialized in the manufacture of models, prototypes and architectural models for the design and architectural sectors. They use innovative methods and technologies in the development of these materials aided by their in-house machines.
Taking advantage of these resources, Industreal was born out of the company's desire to experiment by pushing the limits of these machines and the desire to put intro production the ideas of MIlan's young designers. The values of the company revolve around translating meaningful ideas into tangible objects through rapid prototyping and techniques that they have learned over time. They operate through open-source on the internet, sharing their research as part of their creative process and initiative to carry on innovation.
"Industreal does not just want to be a symbol or a name, but also a workshop of ideas where creativity and research meet to create things which say something about us and our time."
"When technology reduces to a minimum the steps of the production process. When the distance between thought and objects is whittled down. When creative inspiration need no longer be dependant on the perverse laws of large scale marketing. That will be a great day for creativity and design."
