Lyria at Milano Unica | January 20-22 2026

Lyria Academy and educational projects

In every season of change, progress is born from the encounter between experience and new sensibilities. Lyria witnesses this within its own reality: young researchers, designers, technicians, and students cross the threshold of the factory with a curiosity capable of transforming matter into possibility.

Textiles are a frontier territory, a finis terrae where industrial knowledge meets imagination. Here, new talents find an open space where, alongside Riccardo Bruni, gestures are refined, error becomes a sign, and imperfect beauty turns into a direction to be explored.

This growth is further nurtured through structured collaborations with institutes and universities: educational projects, workshops, and shared paths developed with Italian and international academic institutions. These are moments in which the Factory laboratory becomes a classroom, an archive, a landscape for research.

These exchanges generate a fertile dialogue between generations. The technical heritage of the Prato supply chain is reinterpreted through new perspectives, attentive to environmental responsibility, cultural sustainability, and social continuity. Natural fibers, dyeing processes, waste reduction, and the creative reuse of materials become tools for designing new scenarios and new languages.

“The future of our industry is not an abstract idea. It lies in the hands of those who arrive today, carrying the responsibility to imagine tomorrow. And at Lyria, we continue to be the place where that tomorrow begins to take shape.”
