LAByrinth is an evolution of DNA Gifts, offered originally through DNA Tech Limited (a subsidiary of Hai Kang Life Corporation - which continues to process and certify all of LAByrinth's Amula DNA Jewellery.
It arose in 2005 out of a desire to explore the aesthetic of science and discovery, of how science and technology inform our cultural and self-perceptions.
It harnesses the fascination that drives scientists to make visible that which is not readily available or perceptible to our naked eye. It is those discoveries that LAByrinth views through its lens, revealing the beauty of what has been made visible…
…with the hope that beauty will inspire a question, and that question might inspire yet another discovery….
