Westlab Experience Centre: Hassell’s Melbourne Marvel Blends Science with Architectural Mastery

In the radiant heart of Melbourne’s CBD, the Westlab Experience Centre stands as a beacon of design innovation. Crafted with meticulous attention by Hassell, a design practice of international acclaim, this sophisticated establishment redefines the boundaries of design, transcending into the realm of pure artistry.

Hassell is not just any design firm; it epitomises the synthesis of architecture, landscape, and urban design. With a global presence from Australia to Southeast Asia and the United States, this design behemoth is on a singular mission: to design the world’s best places. The Westlab Experience Centre is, without a doubt, one such place.

The Westlab Experience Centre is more than just a showroom —it’s an odyssey. It’s where science meets design, where discovery dovetails with aesthetic brilliance. As you step into this architecturally sublime space, you’re invited not just to see but to feel and to immerse yourself in the future of laboratory design.

From the Australian-made proprietary Modulab Connect laboratory joinery furnishing system to the meticulously curated furniture and fixtures, every corner of the space echoes the Westlab brand’s commitment to innovation. Their mission is clear: to be at the heart of every significant discovery. With a foundation rooted in scientific advancement, they envision an ideal world of breakthrough discoveries. A tour through the Experience Centre affirms this vision — a world where science and design merge.

Nestled within this marvel of design, the Bauhaus Angled Lounges and Ottomans shine in their modernist glory. Inspired by the historic Bauhaus design movement, these pieces add a touch of elegance and functionality that seamlessly blends with the space’s overarching design narrative.
The Bauhaus Angled Lounge, with its triangles that intertwine in myriad compositions, is more than just seating — it’s a statement. Its signature graphic dimension is both compelling and inviting, offering a distinct visual identity that is hard to overlook. Whether it’s the sophisticated workspaces of today, bustling airports, or serene residences, this Australian furniture piece is versatile enough to complement any setting.

On the other hand, the Bauhaus Angled Ottoman extends the narrative of its lounge counterpart. Sharing the same graphical lines and dynamic triangle compositions, this piece of Australian furniture speaks volumes about contemporary designs’ versatility. It doesn’t just occupy space; it defines it. Its strong visual identity and the capacity to inspire creative interior spaces make it an indispensable asset to the Westlab Experience Centre.

The main allure of the Bauhaus Angled Lounge and Ottoman lies in their inherent flexibility. Their compact, gently curved, soft, quilted forms resonate with sophisticated charm. With its diverse seating configurations, this Australian furniture collection promises interchangeable formations — perfect for both intimate and vast open-plan interior environments.

Yet, their beauty isn’t just skin-deep. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these pieces signify the fusion of form and function, a philosophy deeply embedded in the Bauhaus movement. Their addition to the Westlab Experience Centre by Hassell is a testament to Australian furniture’s capacity to redefine spaces, making them more interactive, functional, and inspirational.

The 2023 INDE.Awards shortlist was a celebration of regional architecture and design’s pinnacle achievements. As one delves into the intricate fabric of the Westlab Experience Centre, it’s evident why it made the cut. From the promise of Westlab’s vision of a world abuzz with discoveries to the immersive experience offered by the centre and the timeless charm of the Bauhaus Angled Lounges and Ottomans, it’s a harmonious symphony of design elements.

Hassell’s design values, rooted in creating better and more profound experiences for people, find their true expression in the Westlab Experience Centre. It’s not just a space — it’s an experience, a journey through the myriad possibilities of what Australian furniture and design can achieve. Here, in the heart of Melbourne, the future of design has found its home.
