A stable community of creatives and contemporary makers lives and works in B9 ateliers and laboratories.

The project of outfitting B9 has been under the care of Q-bic, the Florentine architecture and design studio, which wanted to enhance the original architecture by taking care to preserve the industrial charm and the unique character of the Manifattura by preserving its existing surfaces and reusing of existing elements.

From 21 June B9 hosts: Duccio Maria Gambi, Superduper Hats, Birrificio Valdarno Superiore, Bulli & Balene, Soul Kitchen and Todo Modo.

Since september 2021 nop only plants, Switch, Casbia, Sedicente Moradi and Whispr have also joined.

The spaces that will open to the public include four ateliers and four workshops, a multi-functional event space/club, a cafeteria, a bistro, a craft beer tasting area, an open-air courtyard equipped with a stage for live performances, and a green area with a bio-dynamic vegetable garden and children’s garden.
