we like IDEAS

rutan GmbH


rutan and natur(e).
rutan designs holistic solutions in graphics, IT applications, product design and architecture and develops innovative concepts for interactions and environments. Like in other models for corporate culture, natural procedures and processes are the force behind every complex organization system and each individual work operation that we face. The seed of a magnificent idea is the foundation for the growth of great collaborations that get down to the root of success. The German anagram of the name “rutan” is “Natur”, because great ideas are in our nature…
