Haptic Lab is a brand deeply rooted in the history of using sensory design to create positive change. Founded by Brooklyn-based architect Emily Fischer, the brand's first product was a quilted map inspired by Emily's mother's diagnosis of glaucoma. These initial projects were designed as wayfinding tools for the visually impaired, helping people "see" through their sense of touch or their Haptic sense.
Today, Haptic Lab continues to honor this legacy by specializing in tactile and sensory design. They create objects and spaces that thoughtfully engage the sense of touch and feel. Their designs counter the rapid digitization of modern life, fostering intentionality and recognition of the real, physical world.
Haptic Lab produces intricate quilts, kites, and other objects that blend new technologies with traditional craft techniques. Each project embodies a timeless and boundless sense of playfulness. Staying true to their roots, Haptic Lab remains dedicated to designing with intention, aiming to create impactful and positive change in the world.
