- Diffus is a design company, working with theoretical and practical approach
towards art, design, architecture and new media.
- Diffus moves between culture, aesthetic and technology. Not trying to embrace the fields but rather to operate in between.
- Diffus is driven by research, curiosity and investigation, focusing equally on form, content and the relation between.
- Diffus mixes computer/sensor technology and traditional material after analysing a specific need.
...So to obtain a focused outcome, we are blurring the bounderies between sensor technology, physical material,
theory and practice. Diffus thereby becomes precisions.
