Smallab Collective

We make creative artifacts that empower kids, artists, patients, teachers. Since 2005. We make indie games, mobile apps, art works, immersive exhibition spaces and we organize training camps for all kinds of venues within the cultural, educative & therapeutic fields. Our collective gathers sound designers, scenographers, artistic directors, app makers, web developers & prototypists : Matthieu Savary, Victor Audouze, Gabrielle Heynen, Julien Legras, Matthew Marino. Technologies with a purpose At heart, we are designers. We make artifacts that empower people. We turn complicated things into accessible, desirable things, for the majority and for the greater good. Creative tools One of our main activities has to do with making tools, and giving the chance to non-specialists to realize things they would have never thought they could make by themselves. Tools for artists, teachers, carers, tools to play music, create images, interpret movement, feel better. Tools for small kids, tools for big kids. Tangible interactions It's very often that there is no better way, in order to design a creative artifact, than to use tangible interaction principles. As an example, we've created a now famous family of controllers known as the Tapioca Toys (https://tapioca.toys).
