OPEN LAB
The future is here
Caimi firmly believes research and a desire to innovate are cornerstones of business, design and products, and it is this paradigm that has driven the company down the path of an extraordinary new and environmentally friendly venture: OPEN LAB. This project encompasses seven futuristic workshops focusing precisely on theoretical and applied research in the fields of technology, acoustics, new materials and advanced prototyping.
OPEN LAB is physically located in the very heart of Caimi’s headquarters, which now extend for over 10,000 square metres and have an impressive 40 km of electric and data wiring. The sound chambers in the laboratories weigh a remarkable 270 tons and float on multiple layers of special sand with differing densities. The tools and equipment used in OPEN LAB are cutting edge, with many having been designed and created in-house, and they will help the multitude of users to develop new technical design, planning and production solutions.

Caimi has always placed great importance on adopting a socially responsible approach and this is once again evident in its decision to create a non-profit entity to make OPEN LAB freely available to universities, research centres, foundations and other bodies to conduct studies, especially but not solely, in fields related to acoustics and sounds, to find optimal ways to improve the physical and mental well-being of people.

The company’s endless exploration of the human habitat will ensure Caimi Open Lab becomes a centre of research and development in which ergonomics, aesthetics, modular solutions and innovative technologies merge in pursuit of finding new forms of design that are then turned into tangible, usable materials and products.
