The project BeMyPlace is part of the regional strategy for developing the “Widespread, Creative and Technological 4.0 Manufacturing” aimed at Lombard companies to support Projects for Development and Innovation by partnerships of Companies and Universities. The project forms part of the new competitive national and international market contexts related to smart living, where businesses are increasingly required to respond regarding flexibility, product customization and product and service integration. The project aims to define a new temporary living space that enhances smart living by introducing innovative products and services interconnected with each other and with users through the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) and “personal cloud” solutions.

The “Home”, a container of identities, relationships, and experiences, is now part of an evolutionary context dictated by new and more complex social and economic dynamics, in which a greater tendency to live spaces emerges more temporarily. The new smart home is the innovative answer to the necessary reconstruction of the need to “feel at home”, and the recovery of biographical and emotional elements is particularly significant. In this framework, characterized by new digital territories and continuous remote connection, BeMyPlace develops products with high technological content and constructs specific scenarios of meaning and use in temporary smart living. In particular, new furnishing products for the domestic space are designed and prototyped using the internationally patented DreamLux technology (fabrics with optical fibre), and with immediate repercussions in the tourism, entertainment and personal care sectors.
