A NEW CULTURAL AND CREATIVE HUB IN LJUBLJANA

Tucked away in the former industrial heart of Ljubljana, the Center Rog was completely rebuilt on the site of the former bicycle factory Rog. The factory is an icon of industrial cultural heritage in the 20th century in Ljubljana. The Rog bicycles are a hallmark of the city, and countless residents proudly cycle their Rog bicycles to this day.

The comprehensive revamp has preserved the factory building in its original function. In addition, the venue has been repurposed to host cultural and art events, foster knowledge exchange with a dedicated library and bolster skills in workshops.

The new venue has thus become the talk of the town, representing a creative and social centre closely connected to the local community. Center Rog will offer creators, organisations, companies and citizens a creative environment for developing CSR projects in manufacturing, urban handicrafts, applied arts, design and architecture.

9 production labs for fostering innovation

Center Rog is a creative centre where visitors can make everything themselves or with the help of skilled mentors. They can discover nine production laboratories where traditional hand tools and the most modern technologies go hand in hand. The labs include a 3D manufacturing laboratory, a textile laboratory, a woodworking laboratory, a metallurgical laboratory, a green laboratory, a glass and ceramic laboratory, a multimedia laboratory and, not least, a gastronomy laboratory.

Stretching over 8,500 square metres on four floors, Center Rog will provide four areas: a production, educational, event and exhibition area. Center Rog is a factory of ideas where restaurants and workshops, a library, a cafe, and a bistro merge to form a unique venue for all generations. The venue transforms ideas into products and gatherings into experiences.
