Calm, Adaptive Surfaces

Objects, Places, & Systems

Most of the surfaces around us are inert and indifferent, disconnected from their surroundings.


Or sometimes, they’re busy and insistent.


Lab Formosa is building something else:

Calm, adaptive surfaces that shift infrequently, but meaningfully, and then recede into the background


Ritual objects that quietly renew


Living environments that slowly evolve


Human systems that gently anticipate


Lab Formosa is a design & applied research studio working with electronic ink and related technologies to develop surfaces alive to time and place, not demanding attention, but releasing wonder.

"Our original vision was, and remains, that electronic ink can be adhered beautifully to all kinds of surfaces, imbuing them with the ability to express aesthetic or artistic designs, or convey relevant information when needed, and then disappear into the background."


– Barrett Comiskey, inventor of electronic ink, founder of Lab Formosa
