2006
The journey begins when founders Matthis Hamann & Roman Gebhard meet while working for Siemens’ subsidiary designaffairs in Munich, Germany.
Roman and Matthis, who had both worked for international design studios abroad, soon discovered they shared one vision: bringing together the strong European arts & crafts heritage and tradition of great design with the international and Californian "consultancy" approach of shaping service-oriented, technology-driven experiences to meet users' needs.
At the same time, leading design consultancy LUNAR in San Francisco, admired for their bold design approach within the growing computer appliances field, wants to expand internationally. Roman, who had started his career at LUNAR Design, Matthis and LUNAR Design begin to talk.
