Today, Italian technology company Bending Spoons officially opened its new headquarters in Milan, in the Porta Nuova district. The opening follows an €8.5-million project led by architectural and interior design firm Nomade Architettura, and realized under the construction management of general contractor Taramelli.

The new Bending Spoons HQ spans three floors of a modern building developed and managed by COIMA. The property has been awarded both LEED and WELL Gold certifications, which are among the highest possible recognitions for environmental sustainability and occupant well-being. Features include private terraces, eclectically designed meeting and focus rooms, and a multifunctional canteen with a game area and bar.

“We set out to create one of the best workspaces in the world,” said Nicolle Wasserman, project lead on the Bending Spoons side. “And while the ultimate test will be in seeing how Spooners thrive here, we believe we may well have succeeded. Every decision about every detail was intensely focused on functionality and aesthetics, and heavily informed by the wants and needs expressed by Spooners themselves. This office,” she added, “is more than just a physical space to support and inspire our Spooners. It’s a manifestation of our commitment to their potential and growth.”

Earlier in February, Bending Spoons closed a new equity financing round. Durable Capital Partners LP joined existing investors Baillie Gifford, Cox Enterprises, NB Renaissance, NUO Capital, and StarTIP (controlled by Tamburi Investment Partners) in participating in the round. The round injected $155 million of equity and valued Bending Spoons at approximately $2.55 billion post-money.

The new capital will help support new acquisitions for Bending Spoons, following the January 2024 acquisitions of the award-winning mobile app suite Mosaic, and Meetup, the renowned US-based community-building platform that has over 60 million registered users around the world.
