In laboratory we create Reconstructions and Interpretations of original ornaments from our Archive. These works help to revitalize old ornaments and make them more applicable for the modern world.
We invite designers, illustrators and art-scientists to collaborate!
Reconstruction is a detailed digital copy of a historical ornament. It allows to see original pattern in the new light in isolation from the old object surface, and to instantly use it for any task.
