Aiming to be a creative lab focusing on nurturing young talent, Milan-based Incipit (“the beginning” in Latin) manufacturers and distributes a collection of home accessory products through collaborating with up-and-coming designers.
Founded in 2013 by Roberto Hoz and Marta Bernstein, the company helps support young designers by sharing skills and best business practices through a variety of training paths including engineering and production, contracts and royalties, technical knowledge on materials and processes, relationship with suppliers, prototyping and sales channels.
