Approach
Diffus works with a theoretical and practical approach towards art, design, architecture and new media. Diffus moves between culture, aesthetic and technology. Not by trying to embrace the fields but rather by operating in between. Diffus is driven by research, curiosity and investigation, focusing equally on form, content and the relationship between these.
Purpose
One of the main missions for Diffus Design is to combine traditional know-how and codified production processes with uncharted ‘soft’ technologies and complex materials. The idea is to emphasise familiarity, luxury and comfort and try to combine different materials and innovative technology in often unpredictable ways and unconventional twists but always with strong concepts and clear narratives.
