Laboratory for Living Architecture, Built and Objects
Labo redefine the usual uses and typologies through architectural research and design in order to improve every day life facing contemporary issues such as density, economic and sustainability. Through re-interpreting uses and spaces, we create the unexpected, a better functionnality with a glimpse of emotion and even poetry.
Labo's work is relatively wide and starts from designing the details of a desk light, to art installation, to architecture or to urban master plan driven by art, innovation and anthropology. Labo's work exists thanks to a collaboration of multidisciplinary persons, artists and architects.That is why Labo is always looking for new teammates ready to challenge the reality.
Labo strongly believes in design using the latest technologies and materials and in a design made by a team work and collaborations including the client.
We will be happy to work with you to shape and build together the world of tomorrow.
