The LAB

Where ideas take shape.

We can develop not only the product, but also the way to produce it. 

The LAB

The LAB is not limited to building what you imagine. It lets us develop what your project actually needs, from the first concept through production and deployment.

What The LAB makes possible

Four capabilities, from first sketch to the field.

Development & prototyping
Products, parts, solutions, prototypes, jigs, small runs, testing and refinement.
Signage & architectural wayfinding
Residential towers, office buildings, retail, common areas, unit numbering, directional signage and complete signage programs.
Custom creation & fabrication
Structures, displays, furniture, décor, 3D elements, one-off pieces and complete systems.
Visual production & deployment
Design, printing, finishing, preparation, installation and on-site setup.

Signage & architectural wayfinding

One building. Dozens, sometimes hundreds, of elements to produce and install.

Residential towers, office buildings, retail and real-estate projects: KO-LAB can develop, produce and install a complete signage program, from on-site measurements to final deployment.

  • Space identification
  • Unit, floor, door and room numbering
  • Directional signage
  • Indoor and outdoor displays
  • Production runs and variants
  • On-site surveys, installation and corrections

We don’t just make a sign: we can run a building’s entire signage program.

Two examples

What it looks like on a real mandate.

Cinq23 · Devcore

Ongoing project

Architectural signage for a real-estate project: on-site surveys, design, repeat production, identification and installation. The mandate is ongoing, and this entry will grow with it.

  • On-site surveys
  • Design
  • Signage
  • Production runs
  • Identification
  • Installation

CityFolk · Legacy Walk, Phase 1

Phase 1

KO-LAB imagined, shaped, created, designed, printed and installed the visuals, then developed and built the physical structures the walk required. This project is literally “From idea to ground”.

  • Concept
  • Design
  • Fabrication
  • Printing
  • Installation

Means of production

The technology serves the project, never the other way around.

  • 3D printing
  • Laser cutting and engraving
  • CNC
  • Large-format printing
  • Finishing
  • Assembly
  • Electronics and lighting, when the project calls for it

The LAB

Our process

  1. understand
  2. design
  3. prototype
  4. test and refine
  5. prepare production
  6. produce
  7. install / deploy
