Within the project, Museo del Tessuto’s objective was precisely to conceive and test innovative and collaborative practices to make museum e-commerce tools capable of generating widespread value with and for some professional communities, as well as for museum users.
Rifò - Levi's®
In 2022 Flo Concept took part in an upcycling project promoted by Levi’s® & Rifò. Our cooperative produced ltd edition hats made from old upcycled jeans donated by the Levi store in Milan. The venture stems from a collaboration between Rifò & Levi’s® that started in Autumn 2021 with the claim Now Future. All sales profits will go to Flo Concept to finance a six month work grant for the socially fragile. Circular economy & sustainability are the recipe for a responsible future.
Artemisia
Artemisia non-profit anti violence organisation
‘What side are you on’
We produced over 30,000 felt flowers for the campaign ‘what side are you on’ in collaboration with and in support of Artemisia, the non-profit organization that supports and cares for women and children who are victims of violence.
Inspired by this collaboration, Flo concept decided to dedicate a design space in its workshop for the realization of gadgets, and one-off projects for local and national groups and associations. Our hope being to weave constructive relationships and proposals in the variegated world of the third sector.

RICCARDO RAMI Studio
Our potential for the future is written in our past. What we do today will decide the shape of things tomorrow. We have experienced this directly with the innovations, patents and products made over the years by the Riccardo Rami studio that indelibly testify our avant-garde spirit.
The approach is synergistic, between new technologies and ancient techniques, always engaging in research and creativity, respecting the people and the material with which we interact, as well as a correct management of resources.
We believe that being more sustainable is not a decision that has to do only with the environment, we are aware that our staff and our actions influence the process of social and environmental change. For us, the people and the environment where we work, together with our creations, concretely represent our philosophy
