We repair
Clothes, fabrics and small objects that still have material, history or a reason to stay.
LUMINARIUM LAB · UPCYCLING WORKSHOP
A workshop where things get a next chapter.
Luminarium Lab is a place for sewing, repair, remaking, costume, scenography and small-scale production. The point is not to decorate an object for the sake of it. We look at what the material can do and find a useful form for it.

THE CIRCULAR GATE · THE EXIT WILL BE DIFFERENT
Do not guess a password.
Build the passage.
Four decisions. Each gives the object another function. This entrance is a production cycle; leaving LAB will require a different maze.

01
An object has lost its first function. What happens first?
THAT DOES NOT OPEN THE CYCLE YET. TRY ANOTHER MOVE.
OBJECT · IDEA · NEXT LIFE
01
In simple terms: bring an object, an idea or a skill.
Bring a garment, fabric, a piece of equipment, a family story or your own idea. You can also simply come and see how we work. The Open Workshop runs on Tuesdays. The upcycling workshop officially starts in September 2026.
WHAT WE DO
Things with somewhere to go next.
Luminarium Lab is a place for sewing, repair, remaking, costume, scenography and small-scale production. The point is not to decorate an object for the sake of it. We look at what the material can do and find a useful form for it.
We remake
Upcycling, personalisation, embroidery, patches, sleeves, applications and new proportions.
We work for the stage
Costumes, props, small scenography, lamps and objects for theatre work.
We learn by doing
The workshop is a place to exchange practical skills across ages and experience.
THE MATERIAL’S JOURNEY
From receiving to another function.
An object can go through the whole journey or stop at one stage. This order keeps the work calm and avoids making new things without a reason.
- 01
Receive
We look at the object, material and condition.
- 02
Select
We decide what is genuinely worth working on.
- 03
Repair
We clean, strengthen and restore use.
- 04
Design
We find form, proportion and function.
- 05
Make
We sew, build, embroider, print or assemble.
- 06
Use
The result enters theatre, an interior, a shoot or daily life.
- 07
Share
We show how it was made and what can be learned.
- 08
Return
The material can enter the next project.
WHAT WE WORK WITH
Materials are not just a backdrop.
Velvet, cotton, linen, silk, wool and natural leather from the second circuit can become clothing, costume, a lamp, a prop, scenography or a detail. We also use haberdashery, fabric fragments, deadstock and pieces that need repair before they can move on.

THE WORKING SPACE
The Lab works inside Luminarium.
Around 208 m² allows a work table, a stage, the Dome and a small production area to coexist. Technical collaborations and larger tools are arranged separately; the public site describes what can actually happen here.
Dome
Meeting, conversation, rest and small formats.
Stage room
Rehearsal, movement, costume in use, showing and events.
Back area
Sewing, objects, storage and production preparation.
OPEN WORKSHOP · TUESDAYS 11:00–19:00
Bring a thing or come and look.
If you want to bring a material or a particular object, write first. We will decide together whether it needs repair, a remake, a consultation or a separate workshop.
SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE · MINI MAZE
Guide the object into its next life.
Move sideways only. Find a route through repair, a missing part / 3D, a joint workshop and image. A field without an exit is a dead idea — you can retrace your steps.
