Indexlab is a leading design and innovation research lab based in Italy at Politecnico di Milano.
WHAT WE DO
We empower our customers to accelerate creative and technological innovation, pushing the boundaries of customization and data-driven performance. By advancing design and manufacturing processes, we help companies thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Our mission is to invent and launch innovative construction systems. We tackle ideas that have the riskiness and ambition of early-stage research and approach them with the focus and speed of a start-up. Our goal is to develop these ideas and turn them into proven systems and technologies that make a real impact in the world. We work closely with industrial partners and forward-looking companies to explore the future of construction.
WHO WE ARE
We are an ambitious team of architects, engineers, artists and industrial designers with over 10 years of experience developing groundbreaking projects, products, and processes, collaborating with forward-looking companies at some of the world’s most challenging projects.
INDEXLAB was founded in 2010 by Pierpaolo Ruttico, architect and engineer (Ph.D.). Pierpaolo Ruttico is a research fellow at the Politecnico di Milano.
