NOODO LAB
“CODE&CRAFT”
2025
Noodo Lab is a Hong Kong–based design studio working at the intersection of craft, technology, and material experimentation. Founded by designers trained in landscape architecture, the studio approaches design as both playful exploration and rigorous testing, with a particular focus on advanced fabrication. Their practice often revolves around 3D printing, not as a tool of replication, but as a means of invention: generating new forms, surfaces, and material expressions that can only be achieved layer by layer.
From intricately “noodolised” lamps produced with custom G-code, to installations that choreograph spatial grids and printed terrains, Noodo Lab’s projects reveal a fascination with process as much as product. Their work has been presented in exhibitions across Hong Kong and internationally, engaging audiences from design-savvy consumers to architectural practitioners.
Central to their ethos is an interest in the relationship between digital code and handmade craft — how a line of code can become material, how fabrication can embody both precision and play. By oscillating between experimentation and refinement, Noodo Lab cultivates a design language that is both poetic and pragmatic, technological yet tactile. Their practice continues to explore new forms of technodiversity, where emerging tools are absorbed into the evolving culture of craft.
“We see making as a cycle of return: code becomes craft, craft becomes form, and form becomes possibility. Each loop reveals new textures of thought and matter, where technology softens into the language of craft.”
