Using technology to slow down the world
In our studio in the west port area of Amsterdam, we are building a new kind of business: a slowtech business. In this place we work with the brightest minds to research, design and develop new ways to use technology with a single purpose: slowing down the world.

How we designed the Chairwave
In public spaces, people don’t like to sit next to each other people if they don’t have to. At a train station or airport you’ll find people sitting as far away from each other, even though research shows that talking with strangers makes people (and you!) feel happier. So we made the Chairwave, an interactive row of chairs that only opens seats next to where people sit down.
