We started to become Claan in Rotterdam, back in 2004, while playing and experimenting techniques within different disciplines and learning sophisticated methodologies in a contemporary and cutting edge environment which gave us a fantastic grounding.
Through artistic research, critical thinking and a practice oriented approach we trained our design capabilities, acquired technical know-how and expertise.
The following years we worked together on ‘hi!tech’ the magazine for research and innovation from Siemens labs, in Vienna.
In 2008 we’ve established Claan as a company and began our journey to build a creative agency, embracing complex challenges as a team and creating work spanning the fields of design strategy, digital products and everyday spaces.
