what’s in a name?

So, what does ‘ludens’ mean, exactly? It comes from the book Homo Ludens, which 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.

As designers we wish to add to the playfulness in this world. Our design tools let you play with your own creativity and we hope you will create wonderful designs with them and test them to their limits.

Because there is a little kid in each of us.
