Lab’process project was started at the end of summer 2010. And there is one product (that you may already have discovered on our website) that marks somehow the beginning of our collaboration: the model of concrete lamp called the CUBE.
We already spoke about our interest for concrete and how fascinating this material is for us. We love its simplicity and complexity in the same time, the range of different textures it can get, the shades and all the variety of shapes we can create with it. So is not a coincidence that our first product was made of concrete.
The CUBE has a unique story since it was designed to ‘accessorize’ the house of one of us. The need was for a lamp that could be used both as a floor lamp and on the bedside, that could fit more than just one setting and could create a nice atmosphere for the long, grey rainy Dutch days; one simple yet interesting object with multiple uses –lots of requirements not easy to find in an object after a quick scan of what is available on the market.
Having a pretty clear idea of the design in mind, we thought it was worth giving it a shot and so, to create the object exactly how we wanted it to be: simple, at the right dimensions to fit multiple use, neutral material and color, providing diffuse light that reflects on a rough surface, creating a multitude of shades…
That was sort of the beginning of Lab’... Back then we were already speaking of joining our professional experiences and try to bring our ideas under one structure but we were still thinking how and in which form. The CUBE gave us somehow a direction. It was our first successful experiment and probably the item that really helped us decide to start what is now Lab’process...
