Designer Spotlight:Studio Ludens

Studio Ludens takes a novel approach to design: they create tools for anyone to use in order to tap into their unique inner creativity. Their goal is to help people “create beautiful stuff with bewildering results.” They have four tools available on their website that are free to use, including repper, used to make patterns out of your images. They also offer epa:kato, an online tool that lets you design intriguing coasters yourself, such as the coasters pictured above, and then send them the final mock-up and they will laser cut it for you, offering such extras as personal engraving and a gift pouch. They are hard at work on more innovative computer tools that can help you be your own designer, so keep an eye on their website for updates!
