About us /

The Brainstone Lab is the innovation lab at ES Group.

The group is made up of companies that manufacture Engineered Stone bathroom products.

ES Group is established to become a global leader in this segment and The Brainstone Lab is one of the ways connecting us with the future.

At the lab we work with ideas and solutions, following a consistent process which is both solid in terms of results and flexible in terms of how it adapts to the context.

For each of the stakeholders in the system we are a part of, we play a different role:

01

Together with our group’s operating companies, we explore disruptive opportunities, and we also design and develop new solutions for them.

02

For our investors, we incubate possibilities to ensure that our company group is ready for the future.

03

With startups, technology centres and universities we explore the possibilities offered by new enabling technologies.

04

Together with various industry partners, we set up partnerships to build things that are greater than the sum of the parts.

05

We put people and our environment at the centre, developing new products in an empathetic, responsible and sustainable way.

The challenges we consider and the impact we produce have an effect over all of them.

How we’re built

Smart and agile

We break down big problems, and make iterative approaches to solving them.

Transdisciplinary and inclusive

We bring a variety of backgrounds to the table, and we celebrate diversity.

Makers

We build prototypes from the earliest possible stage, to support sharing and reflecting over the implications of new ideas.

Disciplined explorers

We design and execute experiments driven by hypotheses. Our conclusions are evidence-based.

Responsibly error-friendly

We merge fearless curiosity with high awareness. Structured critique is performed regularly and openly.

Collaborative

We understand the power behind partnering. We nurture and leverage an internal community, as well as the ecosystem around us.
