Center Rog is a modern production space, designed for everyone who enjoys creating with their hands, regardless of their knowledge and age. The nine production labs, which are the heart of the house, provide a space for learning and using both traditional and modern digital technologies. Here, you can engage in concrete and tangible challenges - from repairing various objects to improving and creating new, innovative, and socially beneficial products. In Center Rog, there are also nineteen project studios and five residential apartments, in addition to a new branch of the Ljubljana City Library, Rog Library, a large exhibition and event hall, a café, bistro, and restaurant, as well as several shops with local products. In front of Center Rog is a large public park, and in comfortably equipped drop-in corners on all floors, you can rest, work, or socialize at any time.

History
The history of industrial activity in the area where Center Rog stands today dates back to 1871 when Ivan Janesch purchased pasture land in the Šempeter suburb. In 1879, he built a factory building for tanning leather on the land. The building was later expanded by his son, Ivan Janesch Jr., in 1882, adding another floor and expanding production to include leather goods. By the end of the 19th century, the factory employed up to 100 workers.
