BUCHI Laboratory Instrument Kits

Laboratory instruments have their own visual language. For BUCHI, we translated that identity into building kits based on the Sepiatec SFC-50 and Pure Excellence systems. Each project takes a specialist instrument out of its usual laboratory setting and gives people a different way to engage with the product.

The two designs retain their individual character. Sepiatec concentrates the machine’s identity in its compact housing and front windows. Pure Excellence uses its vessels, control panel, and transparent lower section to tell a different product story. Printed branding connects both builds to BUCHI while leaving the shape of each instrument to do much of the work.

The Sepiatec commission combined original LEGO® elements with custom printing and packaging. A later Pure Excellence design extended the relationship to another instrument, with positive feedback from BUCHI’s chromatography team during review. Across both projects, the idea is consistent: make specialized equipment approachable through an object people can build, examine, and keep close at hand.
