About
VOUW is an Amsterdam-based design studio that operates at the intersection of design and technology. Mingus Vogel and Justus Bruns established it in 2017 with the belief that technology's sole purpose is not just efficiency and productivity. VOUW is a pioneer in slowtech, a design concept that slows people down to bring them closer together in real life.
