Hey there!

We are MOVING

We are a distributed design collective with hubs in Barcelona and Santiago de Chile. Working primarily with tools of design, fabrication and research, we try to move things in the right direction. Towards more participation, more Equality and more sustainability.

Our Philosophy

We believe in human beings as a force of good ( social value) starting from local solutions to scalable realities (ecological value), sharing knowledge and with a multidisciplinary scope (joining forces). We have a curious mindset, seeking alternatives beyond our boundaries ( exploration and playfulness), with transparency and open-sourcing for democratizing design (open by default).

Our Expertises

Coming from a wide range of professions, we combine a myriad of skills, perspectives and practices. This makes us able to contribute to fabrication and design challenges, social impact initiatives, business consulting and sustainability research. Reach out to us with your problem, let‘s chat.

Roberto Broce

Roberto Broce is a biodesigner and researcher focusing mainly on bioremediation of contaminated waterways and collaboration with organisms to create biomaterials. Roberto comes from a business background, having worked for many years in startup acceleration, venture capital, and business development. Through the lived experiences of the business world aimed at solving problems for the future, Roberto noticed an opportunity in creating and remediating materials that will stir us away from an increasingly plastic-averse market.

Roberto now works in the cultivation, research, and analysis of microorganisms as viable market alternatives for products containing a variety of synthetic polymers. Through design interventions with the users, Roberto is able to gain a first-person perspective on the living experiences of the end-user and how these designs might affect them.
