Industry-engagement and our strong maker culture puts collaboration at the heart of everything we do.
The Syrup Room
Testing new capabilities in Digital Fabrication. Supported by European Regional Development Funding (ERDF).
About the project
Josh and Jamie from The Syrup Room are AUB Graphic Design graduates who’ve built an exciting Dorset business working with some of the world’s biggest brands. The Syrup Room specialises in start-to-finish design-based projects and have worked on bespoke installation pieces for Nescafe, Martini, Bombay Sapphire, Stuart Semple, Ted Baker, Lush, Hilton and more.
AUB Innovation have been working with The Syrup Room since 2018, supporting prototyping access through our digital fabrication equipment. In 2019, the business was awarded an AUB-ERDF innovation grant to support the development of new capabilities for innovation. The funding is helping the business to test new ways of working through digital fabrication. One such test will explore how the design process can be improved through the use of portable CNC routing capabilities.
