Lab

Beyond working on bespoke and commercial surfaces, we are also driven to develop new ideas and applications through Tactility Lab.

Tactility Lab encourages collaboration, diversity and experimentation between designers, artists and technologists to bring about innovative products (not just surfaces!). If you are interested in collaborating, contact us. We are always looking for new challenges!
