The Homeware Lab is a new design research laboratory and studio that offers world-class facilities to the design and study of radically new kinds of forms, materials and technologies for the emerging Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm. The term Homeware aims to critically challenge ideas of what ‘home’ is and what ought to constitute a ‘domestic technology’ through designing new technologies that connect materials and forms of domestic artifacts (e.g., tableware) with embedded and networked software and hardware. It provides dedicated access to state of the art equipment to support electronics prototyping, digital fabrication, finishing and assembly, small batch production, and field study documentation of new research products.
