DRILLING LAB

"Reality" is the imagination that continues. Founded in 2014, Drilling Lab embodies industrial and product designer LuWei Chen's vision of industrial craftsmanship and minimalistic aesthetics. By deeply exploring the motion "to drill" and embracing the experimental spirit of "the lab," Drilling Lab seeks to uncover the essence of things.

Drilling Lab continually explores the possibilities of wearable accessories, home decor, and other items, aiming to create a natural and authentic lifestyle for those who appreciate quietude, minimalism, and industrial design. The brand honors the minimalist and pragmatic ethos of the past, using design to reflect the increasingly depleted state of the world. This reflection prompts contemplation of humanity's essential needs, allowing minimalism to transcend superficial aesthetics by eliminating excessive emotion in design and liberating users' most instinctive desires. Avoiding fleeting trends, the brand focuses on the dramatic changes of the era and the diverse values of objects. "The future is born at the origin," and through each act of simplification, Drilling Lab steps into the greatest imaginative space.

Breaking free from thematic constraints and allowing logic and order to shape its form, Drilling Lab delves deeply into the potential of "form follows function." This approach combines the precision and rigor of traditional industrial manufacturing with the natural and human touches of craftsmanship. The designer systematically dismantles conventional understanding of accessories, forging new connections between industrial craftsmanship, fashion, and contemporary life.

Drilling Lab's products are available in select stores across Europe, America, and Asia. Their work has been featured in fashion and design magazines, as well as in the Danish architecture and design media outlet Dezeen. Additionally, Drilling Lab's creations have been showcased in the Italian Jewelry Museum Biennial and the jewelry book "New Rings: 500+ Designs," published by Thames & Hudson in London.
