What LAB is — the world in the Atlas.
Frequently asked questions
Is LAB a family or a world?
LAB is a world — the third at STRUGA, not a family. It is the space of experiment and prototype. Two families live inside it: EXPERIMENTAL, the core that holds the concrete forms (Pills, BearRabbit, Triple Drills, Signature Mushroom, Suprematism Cross), and FUSED, an experiment in material. The world sets the language; the family holds the objects.
What does LAB do besides jewellery?
It steps outside it. Beside the silver forms live clothing and object design — at the moment four oversize silk costumes, cut in the same language as the metal. Pieces like these arrive as limited drops and small runs, not as a standing line.
Why do some LAB objects carry the BLADE form from the CODEX world?
Because at STRUGA a piece can belong to several worlds and families at once — that is part of the brand's model, not a tagging error. BLADE remains a family of the CODEX world, but the Blade Pin and its pairings with BearRabbit and Pills speak through LAB: the form came from CODEX, the statement is experimental.
What is FUSED?
A family that experiments with the join rather than the outline: metal flowed together, with no clear borders, angles or edges. In LAB it is held by a single object — the Fused Cross ring, 925 sterling with the cross cast as one body with the band, not applied on top. The other two objects of the family run the same melt through carbon and live in the RITUAL world, not here.
Is Living Silver the same as oxidizing?
No. Living Silver is a property: 925 sterling without rhodium darkens and changes on its own, through wear. Oxidizing is a technique: the piece is darkened deliberately and at once, and it is the language of the RITUAL world. LAB objects are uncoated 925; the patina on them is a map of use, not a flaw.
Why does LAB look less uniform than the other worlds?
By design. LAB is the forge of ideas, where a piece is allowed to be a prototype, a provocation or an exception. It repeats ordinary objects — pins, mushrooms, hares, carabiners of different sizes — and the work can run in a completely different register. An experiment that takes root here can become the seed of a new family.
