ART LAB [N.68] is the abbreviation for Artisan Laboratory, a new and innovative brand founded between East London and the 10th arrondissement of Paris, and launched by Stuart Stockdale. Motivated in response to the excesses and environmental waste of contemporary mass production, the brand creates a range of high quality clothing and home products ‘on demand’ that epitomise a re-evaluating of ethical design standards.
The red thread running through every product is emblematic of the values metaphorically stitched into the brand’s philosophy. It signals that each garment or product has originated using artisanal techniques and couture skills. Stuart has long practised these “hands on” methods in his career as Creative Director for leading international fashion brands.

ART LAB applies a passion for craftsmanship and a fashion sensibility to its limited edition ranges and to its one-off pieces. The brand is committed to supporting local manufacturers, artisans and suppliers in all its products. Here, the customer will encounter design originality, re-purposed surprises and painterly experimentation, all of which are expressions of respect for materials and for our beseiged planet.

An alternative way of thinking is to want less but love it more.
