Explorative design lab

What is ENTIÈRE_LAB?

Outside our client projects, we explore and experiment within the Entière holistic approach* to push boundaries and gain insights to bring into our work.

To keep our creative spirit high and free, to further develop our insights and skills, we like to experiment with more conceptual ideas, with ways on how we can create experience for all senses, and explore co-creation possibilities with other creatives.

Our purpose

We love creating for our clients, that is what we do, and what we do in ENTIÈRE_LAB plays an important role in pushing the boundaries of what we can do and inform where we’re heading.

Let’s explore together

Contact us if you’re interested in a more experimental collaboration. To explore together is an essential part of a really good design process. You can book a talk or ws for your team/brand/project, read more about our explorative work in the holistic design Journal, or contact us to find what we can do together.

An invitation

Sometimes we invite you to see the result or the process in a pop-up exhibition or event. Sometimes it leads to a product or spatial design idea. Sometimes a workshop or lecture. Sometimes simply some insights and inspiration to keep pushing the boundaries, deepen our purpose and passion, and deliver on a high level.

“Let’s collaborate – In pursuit of beautiful concepts.”

Charlotte Ryberg, Creative Director & Founder

Interdisciplinary

Trancending graphic design (print and digital), spatial design and other relevant disciplines, to create ONE coherent and engaging experience.

Multisensory

Humans have five senses and there’s synergies between them. Strong visuals are of course very important and we care for every detail of the visual appearance, but the impact of the experience is so much stronger when we’re engaged with all our senses.

Nature-Human Centered

Our fundamental focus lies in a human experience with a strong connection with the Earth. We are invested in exploring synergies between human and nature, revive forgotten knowledge, mixing it with new ideas and how that can support us in a more sustainable way, but also more authentically in a new era.

Collaborative

We love to collaborate with open-minded people, co-creating shared ideas and a more beautiful future. When we collaborate, truly collaborate, new and unexpected synergies emerges. So often do we hear, the process doesn’t matter, only the result does. We definitely think differently here. The process is absolutely key to a healthy and open minded process, for friendly and fun collaboration, for being able to make sustainable and ethical choices and an impactful end result.

Experimental & Learning

Alongside our client project, it´s essential for us to experiment and learn in Entère_LAB. We refuse to be stuck in one or the other point of view of what design is and isn’t. We believe a design thinking approach with depth is an amazing tool for transformation and constant learning.

10 Principles of Holistic Design – A manifest

Our guiding principles for a humanistic, creative and sustainable design practice.

There’s complexity in the world, now more than ever, and a responsible design process weaves together many perspectives. We therefor propose 10 Principles for more humanistic, creative and sustainable brand interiors, spatial experiences and objects. Each of these principles are essential aspects for a more holistic approach, starting with a clear foundation, working through different perspectives, and by orchestrating and mastering the whole – and creating one coherent human experience.
