As 2025 comes to a close, we’re delighted to share the highlights of a remarkable year at Made[LAB]. From groundbreaking creations to powerful collaborations — here’s a look back at what we achieved together.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re already planning new events across the UK and Europe — including an exciting new venture in Paris.

Made[EVENTS] — Connecting Through Innovation
In June, we brought Made[LAB] to London for Made[LAB] London WEEK, in partnership with Foilco​ and Fedrigoni UK. Held at Coal Drops Yard, this immersive experience welcomed designers, brands, and creatives into our world.

In September, Christophe Balaresque, Marketing Director at Made[LAB], shared how a team of 15 passionate experts expanded its customer base and increased sales — by turning vision into action through powerful choices in verbal and visual identity at France Design Week.

And once again this November, we attended Europe’s leading event for luxury design and packaging, Les Places d'Or, where we showcased [LAB]Works:04.

Stay tuned​ on our socials for sneak peeks of what’s coming next!

[LAB]Works:04 — NEW CHAOS
[LAB]Works:04 was unveiled with Foilco at Packaging Première in May.

Built with layers of precision and intention — and finished with a bold hit of #PUNKLUXE — this latest edition redefines the boundaries of foiling. Created in collaboration with our partners at Foilco, it features an expanding origami structure wrapped in Prism Silver, Opalescent, and Prism Blue. Inside, two custom wooden dice — laser-etched with words and symbols — designed to disrupt, to question, to provoke.

[LAB]Works is a series of objects created by us at Made[LAB] designed to showcase what we do, how we work, and how we think. A sophisticated marketing tool in the digital age, it blends cutting-edge printing techniques with the finest materials, highlighting our precision engineering. It also serves as an inspirational resource for designers and brands in the premium and luxury markets.

Showcase — Pulp 28
We’re proud to share that Made[LAB] has been featured in Pulp 28 by Fedrigoni, in the article “Beyond the box.”

Pulp is Fedrigoni’s award-winning journal, published three times a year in English and Italian. Dedicated to “people and paper,” it celebrates craftsmanship and innovative uses of paper and self-adhesive materials. In this edition, Made[LAB] is highlighted as a studio pushing techniques to their limits — re-imagining materials, processes, and the boundaries of luxury print and packaging.

Showcase — Capturing Every.Detail
Thanks to the work of our expert product photographer Angus McDonald, we added several new showcase projects to bymadelab.com — capturing the precision, detail, and storytelling that goes into each of our projects.

Play[LAB] — The Soundtrack to [LAB]Works:04
This year brought two new additions to our sonic identity: Play[LAB]:04 and Play[LAB]:04B — curated by Christophe Balaresque.
