Founded in 2014 in Brooklyn, New York by Ahmed ElHusseiny, AE Superlab is a multi-disciplinary design office, operating at the intersection of art, architecture, engineering, and technology

AE Superlab leverages a native fluency in multiple cutting-edge design and production disciplines. We take advantage of the synergy between these disciplines to provide clients and collaborators with a uniquely flexible design platform for projects that range in scope from consumer product development to urban scale architectural interventions. AE Superlab aims to challenge conventional modes of design and production via an active focus on research and development, a nimble approach to emerging trends and technologies, and a robust network of collaborators, advisors, and industry specialists.

The firm’s projects span a range of scales from award-winning medical sensing devices (Inspiren) and furniture design (Diwani Chair) to renewable energy infrastructure design (Totem Power) to AIA award winning private residences (C+S House) and commercial interiors (One Kings Lane HQ NYC) to urban scale kinetic sculptures (Halo NY).

Ahmed received his Masters Degree in Architecture from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where his studies focused on the interplay of architecture, technology, and narrative storytelling.

Ahmed has received numerous awards and recognitions, including being named by Wallpaper* magazine among the “World's Best Young Architects”.

Ahmed teaches periodically, and is a frequent visiting critic at a number of universities including MIT, Cambridge University, Pratt Institute, Parsons, and NJIT.

In addition to architecture, Ahmed’s furniture designs, illustrations, photographs, and short films have been featured at festivals and galleries in New York, and internationally.

Edson Pinto is a Designer and Project Lead at AE Superlab responsible for all aspects of design, documentation, and implementation.

A natural problem-solver and keen tinkerer, Edson brings a high level of technical expertise and extensive fabrication experience to all of his work. Combined with his background in the visual arts, sculpture, painting, drawing, and ceramics, Edson’s interests extend to design, digital fabrication, construction methodologies, engineering and technology.

His multidisciplinary skillset is integral to Superlab’s work and sees him equally at home developing early stage design concepts all the way through to final detailing and implementation.

Edson has worked on a wide range of project typologies and scales including product (Totem), commercial interiors (The garage), Hospitality and Restaurants (Zooba), and urban scale concepts (Red Hook Model Block).

A native of Tucson, Arizona, Edson received his degree in Architecture and Design from the University of Arizona, CAPLA
