Copenhagen-based [Space10](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/communitycentric-design) is an [IKEA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hejworkshop)-backed company that does just that and in fact, it recently expanded to south Delhi with a second [futuristic research lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xr-lab) location. The location was chosen due to its status as a "home to emerging design studios, creatives, and entrepreneurs." Space10 hopes to attract professionals with various backgrounds -- from architects and academics to activists and entrepreneurs, in the hopes of developing cutting-edge technology that will have implications for the world. The Delhi location will house community talks, exhibitions, workshops, as well as "offer rapid prototyping facilities for local and international designers."
