Lampoon Canapa – the Hemp Hub – is a bilingual archive of six years of research into industrial hemp, its supply chains and its applications in manufacturing.
Original articles in Italian and English cover cultivation, fibre processing, textiles, construction, design and material innovation in Italy and worldwide.
Some projects in Lampoon Canapa – The Hemp Hub – originate from direct collaborations with growers, makers, manufacturers and creative practitioners.
Printed publications, textile experiments and design projects test the material, its properties and the hemp industry itself.

Lampoon Hemp Hub is divided into two editorial sections, in Italian and English, each with original reporting for different readers and contexts.
Together, the sections form a single international archive on hemp.

The objective is not to promote hemp, but to establish what it can do, where its value lies and what limits its wider adoption.
The Hub documents hemp as fibre, crop, building material and industrial resource, and as a point where ecology, manufacturing, economy and responsibility meet.
Lampoon’s e-commerce platform offers hemp garments and fabrics under the Prototipo brand, connecting consumers with the value of hemp.
