Support your locals! Especially in times like these we think it's super important to support local small businesses and founders. In cooperation with the Distributed Design Platform, we introduce you to 20 makers and designers from the Happylab community who manufacture their products locally and with the digital production machines at Happylab Vienna, Salzburg & Berlin.
Blaustich
Happylab Wien
The Viennese label "blaustich" produces accessories (upholstery covers, gym bags ...) from sustainable materials - old jeans and new organic fabrics - and prints them with motifs from nature. At Happylab, the laser cutter is mainly used for this: Plexiglass templates save a lot of time when cutting fabric, the stamp motifs are designed on paper and then digitized. This not only simplifies the reproduction, it also makes changes, enlargements, reductions or reflections easier. The shapes made from laser plywood are more durable than linoleum or vinyl cuts. The porous wood surface also absorbs the printing ink better.
