Aimilios Davlantis Lo, owner of Minor Detail, London, began building his prototyping studio in 2015
during his bachelor of architecture studies at the Cooper Union in New York City. His passion for precision and toolmaking grew in Cambridge, MA, where he attended Harvard’s Graduate School of
Design MArch II program and was awarded the James Templeton Kelley Prize for the best final thesis project, “Rain Bridge”, 2019. After two years of professional architecture practice, in 2021, he relocated with his wife to London, UK, where his endeavours evolved into what is now Minor Detail.

Rooted in traditional craftsmanship, he employs cutting-edge technologies to push the boundaries of fabrication
possibilities. The studio responds to the growing need for highly customised high-precision instruments in the research-based fields of science and art. Projects range from creating the world’s smallest hydrogen electrolyser cell to a kinetic ring animating the motion of a giraffe drinking water.

In parallel to running Minor Detail, he works at University College London (UCL) high-precision instrument-making machine shop as a manufacturing engineer, supporting research staff and
students in various departments, including Biochemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics and Astronomy.

Minor Detail is a design studio situated in Bloomsbury, London. Bridging the intersection between design, engineering, and prototyping, the practice actualises the most demanding, high-precision, and imaginative quests.
Projects at Minor Detail range from creating the world’s smallest hydrogen electrolyser cell to a kinetic ring animating the motion of a giraffe drinking water. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship, Minor Detail employs cutting-edge technologies to push the boundary of material and mechanical
possibilities.

The studio caters to academic and commercial research & development projects, as well as conceptual art pieces, carrying nascent ideas through tangible design solutions, working prototypes, and products. Beyond the offered services, Minor Detail operates at an intersection where art, architecture, and engineering converge to foster an immanent exploration of materials and their processes.

It aims to establish a diverse body of work that shall serve as a fundamental basis for the advancement of arts and sciences.
