A repair and design movement.




Since 2016, we have been building sustainable, creative bridges between communities, brands, and local governments.

What began in Istanbul as a grassroots community has grown into an international lab with activations in Berlin, San Francisco, and beyond. With our strong community and global partners, we put authentic interaction and positive change at the center of everything we do — from participatory public installations to large-scale workshops.

Our aim is simple: to transform urban environments through playful interactions and experiences, while supporting partners who want to make the world a better place.
OK Labs is a creative social innovation lab designing playful experiences that connect people, brands, and the planet.

We develop design-driven, community-based sustainability projects that help organizations build real-life connections with communities and turn bold ideas into lasting impact. Acting as both an experience and social innovation studio, we craft participatory interventions where playfulness, sustainability, and diversity come together to reimagine urban life.

Urban 
Installations

Transforming overlooked city areas through creative design interventions.



Public Space Design
& Placemaking:

Enhancing repetitive urban elements to serve community needs practically and aesthetically.


Community Events
& Workshops:

Organizing participatory, hands-on workshops to empower local residents and foster social integration.


Sustainability &
Awareness Programs:

Curating tailored workshops, talk sessions, and capacity-building training focused on sustainability and social impact.




We team up with brands, cities, and organizations who want to do more than just “show up.” Together, we create bold, sustainable ways to connect with people and leave something that lasts. 

We believe in the power of people who never stop learning, tinkering, and pushing forward. Our team is proactive, playful, and always ready to turn challenges into solutions.
