NIRUK love.

Taking time to create good design. Design is a process. Perfecting a form in all its facets requires time for experimenting, for developing new ideas and approaches and for finding the right materials and tools. In the NIRUK Material_Lab, there is time to test new forms, colours and textures. Here, experiments are just as important as is a clear and conceptual design embodied in the finished product. Working with honest materials is one of the things NIRUK loves most: create symbioses. Looking for innovative alternatives. Finding solutions for applications. Generating special designs for everyday things: diving into the process of creation – materialising ideas.

„UNDERSTANDING THE THINGS THAT SURROUND US. EXPERIMENTING AND IMMERSING ME IN THE PROCESSES IS THE BASIS ON WHICH I CREATE NEW DESIGNS. TAKING EXISTING THINGS AS INSPIRATION, TO COMBINE AND CREATE NEW THINGS.“

„WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS THAT SURROUND US. EXPERIMENTING AND IMMERSING OURSELVES IN THE PROCESSES IS THE BASIS ON WHICH WE CREATE NEW DESIGNS. WE TAKE EXISTING THINGS AS INSPIRATION, WE COMBINE AND CREATE NEW THINGS.“

multia-iconmultia-iconexperiment
Experiments are useful to expand the know-how about materials and their behavior. Understanding materials is the basis to generate new ideas. It is possible to discover and invent new techniques or manufacturing methods.
multia-iconmultia-iconresearch
Different methods are part of experimentation. We start the work with previous research on the material or the process of making. The approach can be conceptually structured and intuitive attempts are made. We manipulate, change, combine – we dive into processes.
multia-iconmultia-iconconsiderate
We take a close look at the materials and question their properties, special features, characteristics and skills. The processing techniques and possible areas of application are taken into consideration.
multia-iconmultia-iconevaluate
When evaluating the results of experiments and research, various points are considered, such as functionality, usage, emotional and social impact, environmental and ecological questions, formal language, tactility and visual aesthetics.

prototypes & products | surfaces & textures | materials & mixtures | new aesthetics | colours & combinations | manufacturing methods & techniques
multia-iconmultia-iconcollaborate
We develop new designs in close collaboration with our clients. We use existing know-how from research and technology, dive into the subject of matter and set common goals, which are fulfilled at the end of the project.
