“When Sofia is given a task to work on, she can completely detach herself from here and now, forget about all the constraints, think out of the box, look at the problem holistically, and come up with the right ideas and questions.”

About
Vagalume DesignLab was born on a quiet evening by the fire during a time of contemplation. After taking almost a year to slow down, reconnect with nature, and rediscover what matters, we need each other.
In design, in life, and in the world. Just like vagalumes (transl. fireflies) in the night, one small light can’t do it all—but together, we can create something unique. Vagalume is about embracing collective thinking, collaboration, going back to basics, and designing with care — for people, for the planet, and for a more hopeful future.
Bring your ideas to Vagalume DesignLab, and together, turn them into something real and impactful, make sure your vision doesn’t stay just a dim glow in the dark— but, stand out where it matters.
