SUPERLOCAL, 0 miles production
SUPERLOCAL offers an alternative to the production systems we have in place.
SUPERLOCAL, 0 miles production is a global network that promotes local manufacturing. It fosters a future vision on crafts and more in general on production.
Starting from the fablab network, it elaborates a further layer, embracing also traditional manufacturing techniques. It is through the mix between new and old manufacturing techniques that every object is made. SUPERLOCAL final goal is to become a movement of people connecting resources and labour locally, but having a global impact. After being implemented in four different locations in Europe, the system develops through a constellation of activities, including local productions, production tours and lecturers internationally. Doing so, it helps local economies, promotes local craft traditions and encourages a new manufacturing mentality.
