History

Matthew Haggett's first Spheres exhibit. September 2001 at Butters Gallery in Portland Oregon.

SphereLab LLC is the creation of Matthew Haggett, MFA, a Portland Oregon based artist / designer / large format production professional. Matthew was among the first artists to use vinyl wall applique for art, working in wall decal art since the late 1990s. He established the original SphereLab in 2006 while his copyrighted “Spheres” designs were licensed to Blik. SphereLab 1.0 was built as a method to create custom compositions with Spheres. While showing with Blik, from 2004-2009, many thousands of Matthew’s Spheres sold world wide.

From the early ’90s until 2003, Matthew worked in graphic design and production for trade shows and interpretive centers, rising through the ranks to become a top level graphic production manager, fabricating the bulk of Microsoft & Cisco Systems trade show programs from 2000-2003. In 2003 he left corporate life to pursue freelance as a designer and fine artist.

In 2009, Matthew and Blik parted ways. In 2010, Matthew and business partner Ian Castellucci founded SphereLab LLC. With a production facility in Portland, Oregon, a new—and endlessly more useable—web site, and an array of new designs.
