ewoLAB
With ewoLAB, the company has developed a format in which artists, designers, and architects can grapple with the subject of light from their own individual perspectives. This laboratory is not concerned with developing market-driven products. Rather, the main focus is on experimentation, that which is new, access viewed differently. Each project is occupied with a specific theme: the path and the end result are left open.
