“The retrowave technology of the future.”
Welcome to PHOL-LABS Kft — where we fuse cutting-edge embedded software with electronics, mechanics and CAD design. We are a distributed team specialising in innovation and retro-inspired tech, creating complete hardware-software systems from concept to production.
Visit us at: https://phol-labs.com
At PHOL-LABS, we design, engineer and produce:
- Embedded systems: firmware in C/C++, MicroPython, BLE, CAN, automotive interfaces
- Software & tools: dashboards, Linux/RTOS, Web Serial APIs, custom tooling
- Retro and legacy device revivals: from classic computers/gaming to modern automotive clusters
From our base in Budapest we serve the EU and worldwide markets.
- Deliver high-quality, modular open-source components for hardware and software.
- Bridge embedded engineering with hobbyist and retro scenes.
- Enable community, collaboration and transparency in hardware + firmware projects.
- Blend retro aesthetics with modern tech — according to our motto: “retrowave technology of the future.””
Here are some of our standout work-streams:
