We’ve actually been open since late April, but we haven’t had an official grand opening ceremony yet.
So, since we’ve been waiting a while to get around to it, why not make it a full blown week? Jens Ohlig from C4 and Johannes Grenzfurthner from Monochrom and the Metalab will be on hand to help us celebrate.
Here’s the list of events so far.:
