iLAB-DESIGN is one of the first galleries dedicated to contemporary African art in Geneva.
Ideally located in the heart of the Eaux-Vives district, a few metres from the Jet d’Eau fountain, this space invites visitors to discover a continent that has become unmissable and trendy, an incubator of constantly evolving trends, in a contemporary and warm atmosphere that is as simple as it is refined.
Launched in January 2019 in the heart of the Eaux Vives district, the gallery exhibits the most emblematic contemporary artists and designers from the African continent and also offers visibility to emerging talents. Founded by two enthusiasts eager to promote their continent of origin, this atypical space is entirely dedicated to contemporary Africa.
Our commitment
To be the ambassadors of another Africa… An Africa of luxury, innovation and new trends. We advocate a world of design, fashion, art and culture inspired by our travels.
The principle
To unveil the treasures of a creative African design, to present African luxury brands, and promote the excellence of modern African know-how whilst encouraging African artists as well as those in the diaspora who have become leaders in the art world.
Our collection
The selected pieces showcased at ILAB-Design reflect an innovative and iconoclastic African identity helping to create a functional and original interior decor for the modern homes.
ILAB-Design is eager to show how Africans are re-appropriating their own heritage to showcase, a generous and multiple Africa, open to the world and inspiring: stylized translation of the creative profusion of African cities such as Lagos, CapeTown, Dakar, Abidjan, Yaoundé or Ouagadougou, megacities where everything is recycled, everything is transformed in the name of creative dynamics.
ILAB-Design is the first 100% “African made” concept store that makes you want to change your style. A touch of softness: it celebrates female entrepreneurship dedicated to the promotion of the African continent.
