about us

We are an Eindhoven-based design company whose mission it is to give people the creative freedom to design their own products.

studio:ludens consists of two people: wouter walmink and alexander rulkens, both bachelor graduates in the field of industrial design.

Apart from being passionate about good design, we are foremost passionate about people. we want to give them the tools to create by using our skills as designers and our knowledge about the production process.

What's in a name?

So, what does 'ludens' mean, exactly? It comes from the book 'homo ludens' that means so much as 'playful man'. Just like the author of the book, we believe that play is an essential element of our nature and that we should nurture and stimulate it.

Since we are designers, we have the ability to add to the playfulness in this world by making objects. All of them are unique and let you touch them, feel them, use them, misuse them, adapt them, shape them, play with them.

Because there is a little kid in each of us.
