About Hintlab
Hintlab is a collaborative platform for design and research projects, started by Mateusz Pożar in 2022. Our mission is to explore speculative design and futures studies through hands-on workshops, design fiction methodologies, and collaborative research.
We focus on making futures thinking accessible and practical through tools like the Swedish translation of the Design Fiction Kit, printed workshop materials, and online collaborative sessions. Our work bridges academic research with practical application in design and technology contexts.
What We Do
- Design Fiction Workshops - Interactive sessions using card-based methodologies to explore possible futures
- Scenario Building - Collaborative exercises in imagining alternative presents and futures
- Research Translation - Making academic futures studies accessible to practitioners
- Tool Development - Creating resources for workshops and design fiction practice
Our Approach
We believe that futures thinking should be:
- Collaborative - Multiple perspectives create richer scenarios
- Accessible - Tools and methods that anyone can use
- Practical - Applicable to real design and research challenges
- Experimental - Constantly testing and refining our approaches
