About Us
Our Story - "Tear down the Wall"
Step into our past and witness the transformation of a simple idea into an innovative force. Our journey, born in the streets of Milan, reflects the power of passion and hard work.
Our Mission - For and by Creatives
Spazio ivy exists to reshape the hierarchy of the design industry by giving creatives direct access to space, tools, and opportunity.
We remove barriers so ideas can be developed, shared, and brought to life on their own terms.
Our Values -
Our values shape our culture, influence our decisions, and guide us in providing exceptional service. They reflect our dedication to integrity, collaboration, and client satisfaction.
Spazio ivy was created out of necessity.
As creatives working in Milan, we experienced how difficult it is to find a space that is both accessible and genuinely supportive of independent work. The industry often demands long hours from newcomers, offering little pay, limited recognition, and even fewer opportunities to take ownership of their work.
We saw a system where emerging creatives contribute significantly, yet remain invisible.
So we built what we couldn’t find.
Spazio ivy is a space designed for creatives who want to work, experiment, and grow without unnecessary barriers. A place where ideas can move freely from concept to execution, supported by the right tools, environment, and community.
Here, work is valued, credit is earned, and growth is collective.
What started as a solution for ourselves has become a platform for others.
And it continues to evolve with the people who shape it.
