From a childhood bedroom to a professional dream…

Transforming a passion into a profession, in essence, that’s the most fundamental story about us. Before becoming official, it all started as a hobby in a childhood bedroom. Early on, we began volunteering our services to friends and a sports club.

  The Beginning

  Our creative studio officially launched on November 1, 2012! What began in a home office as a design workshop marked the start of a passion-driven career. Initially known as “smart media&design,” we quickly expanded our client base, revealing the need for a professional address and office outside our private space to welcome the world’s best clients.

  2015 The first ‘real’ office

  A “cozy” office with excellent connectivity was quickly found. From August 1, 2015, we welcomed our clients at Hasporter Damm. Within 30 m², our creativity flourished, further growing our clientele.

  The next spatial step

  We soon realized the limitations of our Hasporter Damm location. By the end of 2016, we embarked on a search for a new space, which, after much dedication, led us to Lange Straße 54 – a distinctive half-timbered house that stood out with its unique charm, inside and out. Exactly what we were searching for. The grand opening of our new office was on March 1, 2017, offering 100 m² of pure creativity and space for our ideas to fully unfold.

With the move on March 1, 2017, came a new name after months of pondering and designing. ARTKURAT^® was born, a name combining “Art” and “Accurate” to ideally describe our work.

  Protected and registered

  ARTKURAT^® became a trademark! A unique name worth protecting. By the end of 2019, we submitted our documents to the German Patent and Trademark Office and applied for registration as a word and figurative mark. On February 7, 2020, we received our certificate of registration, a historic day in two respects as it’s also the founder’s birthday. We also took this opportunity to refine our logo and develop a new emblem, independent of the letters “A” & “K.

  Move 2.0

  100 m² soon became too small. Thus, in mid-November 2020, we made our last planned move to our own office building with optimal connections to B75, A28, & A1. The team expanded in line with our growth. Meet our current team above.
