Loop.pH

Loop.pH is a London based spatial laboratory experimenting across the fields of design, architecture and the sciences. The studio was founded in 2003 by Mathias Gmachl and Rachel Wingfield to form a new creative practice that reaches beyond specialist boundaries.

As a studio we create visionary experiences and environments that allow people to dream and re-imagine new visions for our future. We explore the role of art and design in public space by working outside of the gallery, museum and laboratory.

Our work speculates on near and far future scenarios as a way to probe at the social and environmental impact of emerging biological and technological futures. The environments we create often synthesise living materials with digital tools, whilst exploring a new role for designers working at an urban scale.

We work with a range of clients on a commission basis, to create brand experiences, public engagement initiatives and deliver talks and workshops Internationally.

Loop.pH Expertise
Brand Experiences

We work with brands to craft space, technology and living matter into visionary experiences that act as an interface between the familiar and the unknown.

Through a highly collaborative and creative process we help companies identify the key insights that could impact their business and develop ‘brand fictions’ to probe into possible futures. We have recently worked with EDF, Swarovski, Lexus Hybrid and Belvedere RED.
