Archives and cultural collections are vital resources for design and have become crucial in accessing our heritage. The wealth of digital material being made available by institutions has the potential to serve as study and inspiration and generate new, cutting-edge textile and product design.
Studying design archives ultimately makes the world more comfortable to be in, easier to understand, and gives us a better life, better products and overall wellbeing.

Lottozero offers curatorial activities crossing the fields of textile art, design and fashion.
We work with artists who integrate the textile element in their artistic production through a wide range of material, technical and conceptual experimentation, promoting them through the presentation of exhibition projects in our Kunsthalle and in other centers and cultural institutions in Italy and abroad.
Lottozero also offers curatorial services to private collectors, companies and institutions.
Our curatorship activity also extends to the field of textile and fashion design, through the design and organization of events and exhibition projects, followed in all aspects from concept to the final realization.
Lottozero is active in the scouting of new talents, a selection of whom is visible in the Kunsthalle, the online store and our Lottozero Directory.

The team of Lottozero organizes and holds textile design courses at some of the most prestigious Italian and foreign design universities, it carries out mentoring activities for design, art and fashion students of public and private institutions and follows the path of training and professional growth of young designers and emerging artists.
For designers in the early stages of a project, we offer an online consultancy format at 150 euro + VAT, meant to help clarify a variety of aspects of the project. It set up in three parts; the filling out of a form, which helps us understand the exact needs, how far the project is developed, and which team member is the best fit to consult. This is followed by a one hour Zoom call, where we provide made-to-measure consultation and a follow-up email, which recaps the point discussed in the meeting and serves as a useful roadmap to taking the next step in the right direction.
