Standard Lab
Standard Lab

An innovation and design platform
for the people who make ideas happen.

Standard Lab brings together companies, designers, architects, material producers and Standard’s manufacturing team. Together, we develop new materials, furniture and solutions — from the first idea through prototyping to production.

Bring your idea to the Lab

New products

Ideas become products through prototyping and the first production run.

Product families

A single solution develops into a product family that can be adapted to new projects.

New materials

New materials are tested and evaluated before they enter production.

What is Standard Lab?

New products through collaboration.

Standard Lab is a collaboration platform for furniture and material development. We bring together design, materials expertise, engineering and manufacturing to turn ideas into products and solutions.

A collaboration can begin with an idea, a sketch, a new material or a problem that existing products do not solve.
