Artistic and conceptual retro futuristic lab
Manifesto
LBDL is an artistic and conceptual retro-futuristic lab that designs and manufactures unique machines, sculptures, and electronic devices. Every creation is a meeting point between horology, electronics, and design — objects that tell a story and freeze an emotion in time.
Featured Works
Mechanical Seed
A mechanical egg is hatching. This lamp mixes angular and round shapes that depict a retro-futuristic hatching device. At the center you can see a little sphere with watch parts into its core with a balance wheel that can be activated via the hacking crown on top of the egg.
Lady Ada
World's first algorithm was written by a woman: Ada Lovelace (1815–1852). She was an English mathematician and writer, chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. LBDL fell in love with her story and created a lamp in her honor.
Retro Machine
Retro gaming is a reminder of just how addictive a simple, well-executed idea can be. The Retro Machine offers a wide selection of console systems — from the very first arcade systems to the NES, the MEGADRIVE and even 32-bit platforms such as the Playstation. It also serves as a Media Center running Kodi.
Vibe Capsule
An idea under a dome. The aim of the first Vibe Capsule is to capture an emotion into a long lasting intemporal object. Encapsulating the essence and momentum of a growing idea into the shape of this helical glowing lamp. You can dim the light to fit your exact mood.
Vibe Capsule Mk.2
No more Edison bulb, watch a 3D galaxy instead. The Vibe Capsule 2 goes deeper with a new bulb featuring a mesmerizing 3D galaxy effect that seems to freeze time, plus mechanical parts inside a little glass dome representing the love for the mechanical world and horology.
