Lottozero / textile laboratories

Lottozero / textile laboratories Lottozero is a center for textile design, art and exchange with a coworking area and an open lab for textile experimentation and research.

Lottozero operates both as a creative hub and as a consultancy studio. Our headquarters occupy a total of 400-sqm and are divided into a gallery/exhibition area, a shared studio space/coworking and an open fab-lab for textile production, experimentation and research. The work we do in our CREATIVE HUB is aimed primarily at creative people operating in textiles and fashion, it responds to their nee

d for space, their need for comparison with other creators and access to information not available online. We also provide feedback, tutorship and the possibility to live and exhibit in this environment. DESIGN OFFICE
Our work is aimed at designers, companies, brands and institutions, we provide personalized services and support clients to fulfill their highest quality potential. We unite traditional DESIGN OFFICE consultancy services like textile and fashion design, trend and design research, material and production sourcing, prototyping and sampling, with the often literal translation, mediation and negotiation with Italian manufacturing companies. Our strategic position allows us to personally oversee the complete supply chain. We complement the extensive knowledge, expertise and production capacity of the historical textile district by our reliable network of excellent creative collaborators. Our in-house laboratories allow us to constantly experiment and prototype new ideas, this helps us to continuously design and develop innovative concepts.

As we’re slowly settling back in after the summer holidays, it’s time for fresh starts, new projects, and new ideas. Here is something excoiting to look forward to: our yearly **LOTTOZERO OPEN DAY**!

On **Saturday, September 19th**, we’re opening the doors of our textile laboratory in Via Arno 10, in Prato and inviting you to come see how the lab works, discover the tools and machinery available to our community, and get a closer look at some of the new possibilities we’ve added to the space.

From **14:00 to 20:00**, our team will be around to give you a tour of the lab, answer your questions, and share all the new, exciting techniques we have available for you. Come explore different textile processes, fabrics, colors and materials, and find out how techniques such as **embroidery, screen printing, weaving, knitting, tufting, heat pressing and more** can become part of your next project.

Whether you already have an idea you’d like to develop, are looking for the right tools to prototype something new, or are curious about what happens inside our textile lab, the Open Day is the perfect moment to visit us, meet the team, and see what you can make at Lottozero.

Most of all, it’s a day to exchange knowledge, ask questions, explore, and start imagining what comes next together.

Come by, bring your ideas (and your friends) or come find some new ones. We’re looking forward to meeting you or welcoming you back into the lab!

We are also planing a two-day workshop around this date, so hold tight for more infos on that.

A few weeks have passed since the opening of “patron/ise”, the final exhibition of the first cycle of artist residencies of Textile Art Factory.
Here’s a closer look at some of the installations developed over six months of research and production in Prato.

Curated by Ester Maria d’Avossa , “patron/ise” reflects on the often invisible conditions that make artistic production possible—labour, negotiation, care, and collaboration.
Drawing a parallel between artistic and textile production, the exhibition brings together the work of Lorena Bucur, Carmen Buonanno, Linda Ann Cipriani, and Nikola Filipović, revealing the processes that sustain creative practice long before they become visible in the finished work.

Through distinct artistic practices, the four artists explore these questions from different perspectives, engaging with personal memory, migration, protest, care, and the hidden infrastructures of textile production. Each work carries the traces of the materials, relationships, and forms of labour that made it possible.

“patron/ise” is on view at Lottozero Kunsthalle until 11 October 2026.
Mon-Thu 10-13 / 14-18; Fri 10-13 / 14-16; Sat and Sun by appointment

Please note that the exhibition will be closed from 15 to 23 August.

Textile Art Factory is a project by Lottozero, Museo del Tessuto di Prato and SC17 , funded by the Regional Programme FSE+ Tuscany 2021–2027, under the Public Notice approved by D.D. n. 138/2024, and part of Giovanisì - Regione Toscana , the Tuscany Region’s initiative for youth autonomy.

Last week, we had the pleasure to host for a short residency at Lottozero.

Ingrid Hora is an Italian artist based in Berlin whose multidisciplinary practice explores collective action, socio-political conditions, and the ways humans negotiate increasingly interconnected yet fragmented realities.
Through video, installation, performance and sculpture her work reflects on processes of adaptation, interdependence, and the relationships between bodies, environments and shared resources.

During her residency, Ingrid explored screen printing, digital embroidery and the Feltloom machinery, experimenting with processes and material possibilities to integrate into her practice.

A little glimpse into our Textile Lab and our current natural dye research.

We’ve been running a series of experiments with natural dyes lately, across different fibres and yarns, testing recipes, documenting outcomes and gradually building a growing archive of colour and material samples.. can’t wait to show you more!
