what is ic lab
“IC LAB reimagines archived garmentsinto essential piecesthrough structural design.”
IC LAB is a construction-focused design laboratory
developed within I.C.C. International, a leading, long-established group of companies specializing in Thailand’s fashion and lifestyle sectors.
We re‑engineer essential garments through deliberate construction, modular thinking, and material discipline.
Archives & Craft WisdomIC LAB treats archives and craft knowledge as living resources.Archive materials, historical techniques, and production wisdom become starting points for new design. Instead of discarding the past, the laboratory observes and reinterprets it to build garments with deeper meaning and continuity.
Structural Thinking
Every project begins with structure.
IC LAB studies garments as systems — pattern, proportion, movement, and construction. Through structural thinking, familiar garments are rebuilt into clearer, more intentional forms.
Structure is the foundation of every design decision.
Material IntelligenceMaterials are chosen for how they behave, not only how they look.IC LAB studies compatibility between fibers, textures, and structural behavior. Natural fabrics, archive materials, and technical textiles are combined to create garments that balance softness, durability, and structural clarity.
Human Connection
Clothing exists in relation to people.
IC LAB values the connection between garment and wearer, between craft and maker, and between collaborators across the production ecosystem. Every project aims to build meaningful relationships — whether through material, craft, or partnership.
I.C.C. INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED
IC LAB operates at the intersection of corporate structure and creative independence. Developed under I.C.C. International Public Company Limited, the organization benefits from decades of industry expertise, operational stability, and regional infrastructure, while maintaining the agility and openness of an independent creative laboratory.
This dual framework allows IC LAB to function as a protected space for experimentation, research, and craft-led innovation—free from short-term commercial pressure, yet grounded in real-world industry knowledge. Corporate support provides access to resources, networks, and production expertise, while the creative laboratory model ensures that ideas remain exploratory, culturally sensitive, and future-facing.
Within this structure, IC LAB serves as a platform to support emerging and next-generation designers, offering mentorship, material research, and opportunities to engage with traditional craftsmanship in contemporary contexts. The organization acts as a bridge between established industry systems and new creative voices, enabling sustainable growth for both designers and the wider creative ecosystem.
