laboMint presents #myneverhome, wall paper and limited edition accessories to have always on hand a design to talk about.

#myneverhome is a laboMint's idea, grown from the collection of designed but never realized interiors; laboMint started to collect all its forgiven design, little plans that tells about relationships and spaces in a dedicated section of the website: all together, here are the home interiors in 10 years of overtaken, discared, not preferred design.

A process, as designer, very different from the one of the artist; a result, collection of leftovers, that produces a pattern translated into decoration, very similar to an artwork. Interiors become a decorative print, find occupiers and moves to other interiors.

laboMint design spaces, sometimes objects, a lot of stories; here with the home interiors in 10 years of overtaken, discared, not preferred design and 5 products to buy on store.

The wall covering MyNeverHome has ben realized with JWall tailor made by Jannelli&Volpi, technical sponsor of laboMint for Paratissima; the wall covering is customizable with your own #myneverhome.

The products realized by Essent’ial, design by laboMint, are in cellulose fiber (washable in washing machineat 30°): the placemat-MNH@table, the pochette Size M-MNH@bag and a wallet Cash-Cash-MNH@pocket.

The sticky summer in shanghai has been concentrate on a music project.

An old maternity hospital to be transformed in a music store for the ground and first floor and a music school for kids on the last floor.

As everything in Shanghai lately we had a very short time to open up. Survey and building site opening in the meanwhile with the design team milano-shanghai busy 24 hours. Circulation to be transformed, exhibition furniture to shape the spaces, raw materials and a lot of little rooms to define unedited geometry, each one with a little window to look what's going on inside.

Retail strategy for KUKA by laboMint and AlexanderDesign + KickOffice

Kuka it's a model company, founded by Mr. Gu has seen an explosive development and quickly became leader in the leather furniture industry. Kuka literally means the Home of Gu but also Care of Home.
'Proundly made in China' to us is the attitude of the new chinese production, not depending from the old world anymore, not just produced but made in China.

KUKA is not just a SOFA, KUKA is your HOME has been the refrain that drove us to the main design concept.

If the sofa is associated to the idea of comfort, the function sofa is the maximun desiderable comfort; it's a living island, full of accesories..it's a livingroom itself. All these considerations lead to to the idea of the little houses, at the same time communication and functional tools.  The little houses open up to the outside of the shop to offer a rest to the people walking by and attract you inside the shop as a home entrance. And we did imagine they could also travel in some special occasion to become portable Kuka display.

when you can list among your clients a very classy kitchen producer, you cannot avoid to have them letting you a big discount on a huge super modern kitchen that drives the design of the entire house..around the kitchen!

A very special flat, starting from its unique plan, for a couple of good friends; each space has a special texture and a tailor made solution. The living room has a special kitchen made of two parts: a wall built in unit that diseappears and a very special island made of genuine steel; a linear long shelf do organize technologies and amenities. The bedroom has a walk-throught closet and a warm grey taste while the resin and wood bathroom has two different spaces communicating but accessible from different entrances.

A traditional flat gains space with the introducion of antechambers to dearticulate the corridor space. A long wall unit that crosses the all flat does merge the different spaces.

Few yeras before we've been refurbish a flat that has serious structural problems. The owners family has rapidly grown and they bought also the apartment above.

The new project has to carefully connect the two floors, to consolidate the remaining structure (including the ceiling) and to distribute the new interior spaces.

The intervention has been radical on the side with the stair that strcturally hook up with the steel floor and very conservative on the rest of the apartment where a dry solution has been preferred. The consolidation project, designed together with Atelier LC, as described in 006.1 DETAILS|a lifting for the old structure, start from the need not to add weight to the old wood structure: the old beams are lifted and the foundation made of sand and coverd with plasterborad panels.

The only closed room in the second floor is a huge bathroom that uses bencore panels to devide from the night area.
