ReFab Lab AB was founded in 2020 by Kevin Keul and Lili Smith.
Together they facilitate the creative studio, ReFab Lab, hosting designer residencies, woodworking and creative workshops, a member based woodworking club and the non-profit, Community Builds.

All activities in ReFab Lab are focused on creative habits to enable shifts in mind set from buying new to using DIY and salvaged materials to build or re-finish your favorite things
ReFab Lab AB explores innovative education and knowledge sharing through workshops, special projects and strategic partnerships.
Our activities include teaching creative woodworking and crafts, wood club, designing and re-finishing furniture and salvaging used materials for re-sale
With circular practices of material conservation and re-use at our core, our activities are driven by our values of environmental responsibility, inclusion and collaboration.

"Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I learned a lot in a short period of time, got to try out several new or almost new tools. Kevin always had time to teach me how to use them. I could go to him if I had a question, and he was good at regularly going round himself and checking up on how everyone was doing. Challenged me to figure out ways to solve a problem by myself, and also suggested solutions and pepped if I was stuck. Taught the importance of not being afraid of making mistakes, and if you do make mistakes to learn from them-"

"If you're looking for a step by step guide to woodworking, Kevin is the right person to give you that! He went through all the essential machines that make your life easier when working with wood and provides enough time to get familiar with them. He puts a big focus on safety which makes his classes accessible for everyone. He gives advice on how to approach a project from the beginning to the end. My expectations were definitely met and the class gave me enough motivation to continue with woodworking in the future. Very recommended-"
