ABOUT
The Laborynth is Unmaze’s living space for inquiry, reflection, and experimentation. It merges two worlds: the Laboratory, where ideas are tested, data is explored, and prototypes are born, and the Labyrinth, a symbol of complexity, discovery, and the human journey toward clarity.
HOW WE THINK
The Laborynth embodies Unmaze’s way of working:
- Exploratory: guided by curiosity and open inquiry.
- Evidence-Based: grounded in research, tested in practice.
- Generative: focused on what creates value and possibility.
- Human: anchored in empathy, purpose, and connection.
Join the exploration
The maze of modern work is full of noise, paradoxes, and possibilities.
In the Laborynth, we’re designing pathways out toward simplicity, coherence, and meaning.
Explore, question, and experiment with us. Together, we can make work that works.
We don't publish to impress
We publish to learn, share, and build community.
Every article, experiment, or dialogue is an invitation to co-create new ways of leading, collaborating, and thriving at work.
