grape lab, is a sustainable design lab which does various experiments to solve environmental and social issues from a design point of view. We focus on wasted resources and vulnerable people in marginal areas of our society.
Combining recycled and wood-free papers with unique folding techniques we create unique stationery products with sustainable lifecycles
Zero Waste
We transform wasted resources into design pieces. The scraps of our production process become cards, tags, bands and shopping bags, creating a culture of zero-waste, which is part of our goals.
Sustainable Culture
We turn upcycling into part of our culture by practicing greener habits with our community on workshops and exhibits–changing their habits and mindset to protect and prepare future generations.
Job Opportunities
We offer work opportunities to vulnerable minorities in our society–creating a collaborative platform for people with disabilities to show their talents, gain space and become financially independent.

Let's create a culture of sustainability in our community

During the workshops, seeing different styles and points of view help everyone connect and creates synergy among participants.
