MiDA-lab

MiDA-lab is the atelier of Michela D’Angelo, a designer born in Rome who graduated in Product Design at the EASD School of Arts and Design in Valencia in 2015. She moved to the Netherlands in 2017 to apprentice for the artist Nacho Carbonell for five years, and in 2021 started MiDA-lab, setting up her own atelier at Sectie-C in Eindhoven.

The practice gives a voice to different materials, letting them communicate as in human relations, with their own characters and personalities. Clay, glass, rattan, recycled plastics, textiles, bronze and electrical components arrive through experiences with local craftsmen in Spain, France, Lebanon, Portugal, the Netherlands and Peru, becoming sculptural objects suspended between the material, plant, animal and human worlds.
