DFW, Digital Forgery Workshop
DFW is a Milan-based creative studio pioneering the frontier of digital spatial design. We transform conventional digital experiences into immersive environments that transcend traditional web browsing, creating a new paradigm for digital interaction.
CORE
Operating at the convergence of architecture, fashion, technology, and theatrical experience, we craft digital spaces that challenge the conventional boundaries of the virtual realm. Our work spans from browser-based 3D environments to revolutionary virtual theater experiences, each project pushing the boundaries of what's possible in digital space.
SERVICES
3D Design Browser
Transform your portfolio or products into an interactive 3D space accessible through a single link. We believe in dimensional appreciation – making smart mean simple.
Virtual Theater
A groundbreaking format that exists between cinema and traditional theater, offering real-time digital performances where files become the actors. Features include:
- Multiple viewing modes (cinematic, immersive, actor mode)
- Browser-based accessibility (under 15MB)
- Real-time rendering and dynamic file management
- Interactive storytelling possibilities
- Customizable experiences for different narratives
Museum/Gallery Spaces
We reimagine the art of exhibition in the metaverse, creating spaces that transcend traditional gallery constraints. Each virtual gallery is designed as a total experience for all senses.
Spatial Shop
Virtual retail spaces that allow customers to interact with products in three dimensions. Perfect for fashion brands looking to transcend traditional e-commerce limitations.
VRM Avatar Creation
Custom digital identities that extend beyond basic avatars, designed for meaningful interaction in virtual spaces.
Virtual Runway
Real-time browser-based fashion experiences with ticketed access, offering a new platform for fashion presentation and interaction.
Spatial Web Development
Transform traditional websites into social spaces where people can gather, interact, and experience content in three dimensions.
Digital Twin Creation
Precise virtual replicas of physical spaces and objects, offering immediate visualization and interaction capabilities.
Asset Design & NFT Creation
Custom 3D assets optimized for various platforms and use cases, from architectural elements to furniture and vehicles, all authenticated on the blockchain.

Each project is built on three principles:
1. Spatial Innovation: Rethinking how digital spaces can be experienced
2. Technical Efficiency: Optimizing performance without compromising quality
3. Interactive Narrative: Creating engaging stories through spatial design
