## Explore, never settle.

Curiosity makes our products. Care makes them last.

## About us

We've been designing and building digital products in Vienna for over two decades. What we make has to work, and keep working.

Our clients have ranged from Gucci, Bulova, and The Grammys to a nonprofit home-care organization, an international boarding school, and a family-run restaurant.

Fluxiom, our own product, was one of the first web apps of its kind. Teams at the London Symphony Orchestra, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, TNT, Prada, and Steinway have used it to manage their files.

What we do

## Two Decades of Empathy-Driven Design

With over 20 years of experience, we approach complex challenges with clarity: developing [reliable SaaS products](/work/fluxiom.md), designing [point‑of‑sale strategies](/work/gucci-shop-in-shop-interactive-furniture.md), creating [learning management systems](/work/gucci-sales-training-app.md), and shaping [user-friendly e‑commerce ecosystems](/work/gucci-com.md).

Exploring Our Roots

## Designing with empathy and care

![Wollzelle 10th anniversary notebook limited edition](https://wsrv.nl/?url=https://origin.wollzelle.com/images/wollzelle-notebook.jpg&w=1024&dpr=2&output=webp)

We put people first and approach design as an interdisciplinary process, bringing together different perspectives to create [distinct brand experiences](/work/st-gilgen-international-school.md).

By thinking beyond traditional boundaries, we strive to create solutions that are thoughtfully tailored to the needs of our clients.

Curious how we think? The blog is where we share what we’ve learned, what we’re still figuring out, and what keeps us interested.

SaaS Pioneers

## Fluxiom: Built for people, not just files

![Screenshot of the Fluxiom interface, an early SaaS product launched in 2006](https://wsrv.nl/?url=https://origin.wollzelle.com/images/fluxiom-homepage.webp&w=1024&dpr=1&output=webp)

Since 2006, Fluxiom has made a modest but meaningful contribution to early Web 2.0 and what would later be known as SaaS.

[TechCrunch and other publications](/work/fluxiom.md) recognized Fluxiom as the most user‑friendly storage solution. Teams at the London Symphony Orchestra, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, TNT, Prada, and Steinway adopted it to manage their files.

> Fluxiom, based in Vienna, is a first rate online storage and file management product. I’d even go so far as to say that it is the most usable storage product I’ve tested.
>
> – Michael Arrington · Founder, TechCrunch

> ![The New York Times logo](https://wsrv.nl/?url=https://origin.wollzelle.com/images/new-york-times.svg&w=200&dpr=2&output=webp)
>
> Once you've uploaded some media, it quickly becomes apparent how well‑designed Fluxiom is. There is almost no learning curve to the software.
>
> – Darrell Etherington and GigaOM, published on NYTimes.com

Through its contributions to the early days of the Web 2.0 movement, Fluxiom has played a small but vital part in the development of innovative web technologies and the shaping of today's digital landscape.
