Leva, a creative engineering company specialising in kinetic installations, interactive exhibits and bespoke mechatronic systems, has announced the upcoming opening of Leva Grid, an almost 1000-square-metre headquarters in Turin, Italy, designed to support the company’s next stage of expansion.
The formal launch takes place on 15 October and will welcome guests to experience the space, with an evening of talks, music, networking and celebration.
Interconnected approach
Designed by lamatilde, a Turin-based architecture and design studio, the new headquarters offers a bespoke, multidisciplinary space. This brings together creative development, engineering, prototyping, testing, production, and assembly, functions that were previously located across disparate facilities.

The architectural project has preserved the building's industrial character, keeping its prefabricated concrete structure exposed while introducing a new steel-and-glass volume with a unique identity.
Situated between the offices and production hall, a new mezzanine structure offers both a physical and visual link between Leva’s creative and engineering activities, connecting teams and fostering shared perspectives.
The space also includes a versatile 535-square-metre production and assembly area, dedicated laboratories and offices, meeting and creative rooms, communal areas, and three permanent kinetic installations.
More than simply an operational base, the new headquarters will welcome clients and partners for project development and visits, and host talks, open studios, events, and other projects exploring engineering, design, making, and creative technology.

Matteo Mosca, Leva CEO and co-founder, says: "For the first time, our creative, engineering and making teams can work together under one roof.
"Up until now, these were three different worlds spread across various points in Turin; from now on, there will be continuous exchange and intersections between them, fueling the creative tension that breeds the most brilliant ideas.
"Leva Grid is more than just a new headquarters: it’s an environment designed to bring together the kind of fields that rarely share the same space. And it’s from these unexpected collisions that Leva’s Impossible Engineering actually stems from."
The move signals a broader evolution in the company, laying the foundations for its global portfolio and for bolder, more complex commissions over the coming years.
The name ‘Leva Grid’ points to both the physical and conceptual identity of the space. This references the production floor grid, as well as the grid as an interconnected system where ideas, algorithms, engineering, and creativity come together to turn challenges into practical solutions.
It also expresses Leva’s culture, built on collaboration, problem-solving, and cross-disciplinary interaction.
Earlier this month, Leva announced that it will create two permanent installations for The Whale's new visitor experience, expected to open in Andenes, Norway, in 2027.
