Orangutaan Design Studio is a project dedicated to practicing timeless and tangible design in a world consumed with fleeting trends, compressed attention spans, and digital slop. We strive to make bold, beautiful things with intention, playfulness, thoughtfulness, and heart.
This is design for the real world.
