Product photography for Haptic Lab: tactile heirloom objects
If you’re on the hunt for home goods that are not only beautifully crafted but also environmentally conscious, look no further than Haptic Lab. Known for their intricate quilts and bedding that blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, Haptic Lab has made a name for itself by offering something truly special. Let’s dive into what makes this brand a standout in the world of sustainable luxury home decor.
About Haptic Lab
Haptic Lab is a Brooklyn-based, sensory-driven design studio focused on creating meaningful tactile objects that explore the sense of touch and cultivate connection between people and the planet.
Founded in 2009 by Emily after her mother began losing her eyesight, Haptic Lab is known for their handmade quilts, coats, and other objects that foster deeper connections through physical touch and sensory engagement.
The Haptic Lab team
A much smaller team than people may realize, Haptic Lab is made possible by three full-time employees that seek to bring transparency, simplicity, sustainability, and consciousness to the world. Bringing to the table diverse creative skills, they don’t rely on algorithms or consultants, but embrace their instincts to run a design company that is ever-evolving.
Haptic Lab Ethos and sustainability practices
Designing with the future in mind, every product they make is meant to be loved and used for generations. Haptic Lab integrates ethical practices into every stage of production.
As a Certified B Corporation, the brand adheres to rigorous standards that ensure social and environmental responsibility, building long-term relationships with artisan partners in Indian and Indonesia. Going beyond fair wages, this partnership is rooted in respect, reciprocity, and collaboration. Artisans set their own prices, and work in a GOTS certified environment that ensures a shared commitment to ethical and environmental standards that align with Haptic Lab’s effort to reduce plastics and unnecessary waste.
Objects are made slowly, thoughtfully, and with respect for the labor that goes into this process. The brand uses a combination of machine and hand stitching to bring their designs to life, giving each piece a personalized, artisanal touch.
Haptic Lab also places a strong emphasis on small-batch production, which helps them maintain control over quality while minimizing waste. This thoughtful approach to manufacturing ensures that each product feels special, and that the environmental impact is kept to a minimum.
When you choose a Haptic Lab object, you're choosing more than just a piece of decor — you're investing in art, sustainability, and craftsmanship. The brand’s commitment to eco-friendly materials, ethical labor practices, and attention to detail ensures that every product is something you can feel good about owning.
Haptic Lab Charleston Quilt
What makes Haptic Lab particularly unique is the fusion of traditional quilting techniques with modern, geometric designs. Each piece tells a story, and whether you're adding a quilt to your bedroom or a throw to your couch, these items are designed to not just look beautiful, but to become lasting heirlooms.
A Charleston local, we can tell you the Charleston Coastal Quilt by Haptic Lab beautifully celebrates our city’s rich heritage, and the historic charm of South Carolina’s coast. This heirloom-quality quilt features intricate hand-stitched details of the region's iconic coastline, from historic downtown Charleston to our new home on Folly Beach! Effortlessly blending craftsmanship with the spirit of the Lowcountry, appliqué showcases the delicate contours of the shore. Roads and ocean topography are entirely hand-stitched, and Haptic lab offers the option to add custom embroidery for a personal touch — perfect to label a sentimental city, or capture meaningful milestones such as as your wedding date or an icon of your home.
Made from 100% organic cotton, the quilt measures approximately 75"x 66", making it perfect for both functional use (from sun bathing on the beach, to picnics in the park, to cuddling on the couch) or as a striking piece of wall art.
Whether for gifting or to make transport easier, a large printed canvas bag approximately 15.5” x 31”can be added to your purchase. Ivory with Haptic Lab’s logo screen printed in their signature navy navy hue, it’s a heavy weight canvas with a sturdy twill strap. Use it to present a gifted quilt, to make this blanket more portable for adventures, as a laundry bag, an overnight bag, or to protect and store quilts or linens while not in use — there are millions of way to reuse this cotton bag at home!
