The Serious Products Lab founded in 2023 is ran by Eva Korae under the Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts, School of Fine and Applied Arts, Cyprus University of Technology. The Lab domestically produces experimental products, through the possibilities provided by Digital Fabrication and continues to archive/record indigenous manufacturing practices that contribute to the understanding of product design in general. Researches of the Loab comfortably alternate between digital production and artisan hand crafted mastery. Practical and research results are exported globally, through publications, exhibitions and participation in international design festivals. Below are some further links to work under development.
The lab enjoys collaborative projects and has ongoing partnerships with selected makers, designers and artists. You can find links to their personal websites below.
