Research. Product. Innovation.
“Recognizing need is the primary condition of Design.” (Charles Eames)
An experimental space where observation, research and design evolve into new products and concepts.
CHD Lab was created to explore needs, materials, behaviours and new ways of living and experiencing hospitality, transforming research into design ideas, collaborations and products that can be developed with selected partners.
Not a collection of products, but a laboratory for applied research.
01 Observe
Observe changes in the way people live, travel, work and inhabit spaces in order to identify emerging needs before they become evident.
02 Research
Analyze materials, technologies, production processes, sustainability and emerging solutions through international research and dialogue with companies and professionals.
03 Develop
Transform insights and intuition into product concepts, systems and solutions for the interior, hospitality and contract sectors.
04 Collaborate
CHD Lab develops projects through collaborations with companies, manufacturers, technicians and specialised partners, assembling the most suitable team for each concept and its development.
Projects
Every project is the result of research, reflection, and planning. Intuition alone is not enough to create a product that will be loved and used by consumers. This is why it is important to be "Artists and Designers" and know how to differentiate yourself in the market.
"TOWER"
Tower is a product design project developed within CHD Lab and currently protected as a registered design in Europe.
The project originated from the observation of emerging needs related to contemporary living and explores a new relationship between function, space and object.
The project is currently confidential.
Full documentation is shared exclusively within selected professional and industrial discussions.
Currently under development with the support of ALMI, Sweden’s government-backed organisation for innovation and business development.
"UNICO"
Is a "Night" furniture collection with a "retro revival" feel, combined with minimal lines and refined materials.
"CIRCULAR WORLD"
Is a concept for co-working spaces designed for today, where technology and security are the foundations of an ever-evolving business.
"DIAMOND WALLPAPER"
Is a wallpaper featuring a stylized birch forest, embellished with micro-diamonds on the leaves and tree trunks.
"ACANTHUS MOLLIS LAMP"
Is an innovative, elegant table lamp with a luxurious finish reminiscent of the Acanthus Mollis flower. Designed by Lino Campisi, it is included in the exclusive ICC EDIZIONI catalog, an initiative of the ICC - Insubriae Contract Couture organization, of which CHD is a Design Partner.
Value
We participate in national and international contests (GIDA 2020, HI-HACK 2020, Contest by DESALL).
"Tower" was supported by the Swiss innovation agency INNOSUISSE until 2021. From 2022, it is being monitored and supported by ALMI, a Swedish state-owned company for the development of innovation and business projects with growth potential.
Every concept takes shape through research, materials and vision.
CHD Lab explores materials, technologies, behaviours, and emerging needs in living and hospitality, transforming observation and research into concepts, products, and design solutions. It is an open process driven by experimentation and collaboration with companies, technical specialists, and selected partners.
