On the occasion of the London Design Festival 2011, .PSLAB has been chosen to light the event "Mint Explores" with a showcase of its hand-finished products. The show brings together 50 pioneers in the design field to display designs and crafts from around the world.
As designers and manufacturers of site-specific lighting products, in lighting 'Mint Explores' .PSLAB have taken into account the spatial qualities of Mint's linear space and the characteristics of the products selected. Clusters of lamps will be visible from outside the front window, and inside they will be concentrated at key points to lead the viewer forward, culminating in a series of chandeliers suspended beneath the gallery's distinctive skylight, which dominates the second half of the space.
