We write poetry with objects

 
 

Poetic Lab is a full-service design studio base in London that creates brand & product strategies, delivers product designs and production solutions to clients with a fresh perspective. 

The studio founded in 2013 by Taiwanese designer Hanhsi Chen after he graduated from Royal College of Art in London. The studio shares a design vision that design is silent poetry composed by the mind and matters.

The studio was awarded Design Report Award in 2013 during Salone del Mobile, while Salone Satellite Award granted them the 3rd prize. ELLE decoration china chose Poetic Lab as young design talent of the year in 2013, and in 2015 they were awarded Rising Asian Talent by Maison & Objet.  Their work have been published by internationally renowned press like Wallpaper* Magazine, The Telegraph, FRAME, Monocle, ELLE Decor, ICON, DAMn etc…

In 2014 the studio curated their own design label “Beyond Object” with the belief that daily objects can be crafted as functional sculptures.

We believe there is a core value for each and every brand. We discover the true value, polish it and present it in a sophisticated fashion. We communicate value and identity through space, visual, design and storytelling.

Design Service

Our design service includes product, furniture, lighting, spatial design and design installation.  We create products not only meet the demands of the market but also carry meaningful message and story.
