Prototype Lab Builds Reputation in New York City<br />
Where do designers go when they<br />
need to craft a product in 3-D?<br />
In the New York City area, they can come to Length Width<br />
Height (LXWXH), the fabrication lab at <strong>LaGuardia</strong>'s NYDesigns.<br />
The lab provides access to equipment; guided instruction by a<br />
professional fabricator; opportunity for collaboration with<br />
NYDesigns resident designers, and other resources so designers<br />
can bring their creations to life.<br />
Companies of all sorts have used the lab to make objects, scenes<br />
and exhibits. Designers may use the equipment themselves, or<br />
they can have the LXWXH team do the production work for<br />
them. Notable projects include making some of the wings that<br />
models wore in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010 that<br />
aired on CBS in November and an exhibit that has been built for<br />
Madame Tussauds New York's wax museum.<br />
LXWXH fabrication lab intern works on a project for a novelty furniture company.<br />
Recently, LXWXH collaborated with fashion brand JF and Son and industrial designer Kevin McElroy to produce a line of laser-cut<br />
clothing pieces, which were exhibited on March 28 at JF and Son's flagship store in downtown Manhattan. The line, which will go into<br />
general production in summer 2011, attracted interest from magazines such as Women Wear Daily (WWD), Elle, Harper's Bazaar and<br />
Paper Magazine. Other clients of the lab include Ally Bank, Discovery Channel, Hyundai and Yahoo.<br />
“In our lab designers can experiment, build products, and network with professionals in the industry,” says Natalia Arguello, Director of<br />
NYDesigns. “Our members share knowledge, expertise and resources. This combination makes LXWXH the perfect spot for young firms<br />
looking to grow and stay connected to the fabrication community in New York.”<br />
The lab has been operating since May 2010 and sees 20-30 clients a month using the equipment and services. For information visit<br />
