Nave 6A is OHLAB’s new headquarters in Palma de Mallorca, conceived as a workspace open to collaboration, exchange and dialogue across architecture, interior design, furniture, art and material culture. Shared in part with Bornhold, the space reflects a way of understanding creative practice as interdisciplinary, relational and constantly evolving. In addition to hosting the studio’s daily activity, Nave 6A also functions as a platform for gatherings, presentations and events connected to contemporary design.
Through Nave 6A, OHLAB fosters collaborations with like-minded local and international partners, extending the studio’s work beyond architecture and interiors into a broader cultural and design ecosystem. The space has already hosted openings and shared events, and continues to support a growing programme of presentations, dinners, exhibitions and conversations around design, craft and art. This network includes collaborations with firms and brands such as Bornhold, Contain and De La Espada, reinforcing Nave 6A as an active place for exchange and creative dialogue.
