We love gluing!
dot on originated from an idea: We wanted to develop a flexible, customizable calendar where special events are visible at a glance. So, in 2010, we came up with the idea of colorful adhesive dots. Since then, we have been developing our "Klebenswürdigkeiten" (adhesive wonders) with a passion for clear structure, simply beautiful design, and analog adhesive dots.
Over time, something else exciting emerged: Sticking things is simply a lot of fun – and the same idea that works for motivating organization in everyday life can also be wonderfully and easily used creatively at events. When people visibly create something together, participation, conversation, and connection arise. From this observation, our second focus developed: interactive adhesive installations for events.
So, let's dot it!
Why you too will love gluing
What We Believe
A clear structure creates calm
When tasks, appointments and projects become visible, an overview is created.
Analog systems often seem clearer
Paper, adhesive dots and visual structures are directly comprehensible to everyone.
Participation changes experiences.
When people actively collaborate, a genuine connection is formed.
Uncomplicated simplicity is strength.
The best systems are those that are truly and jointly used.
The world's first planner with adhesive dots
We started in 2010 with the world's first wall planner with adhesive dots. We designed the calendar based on its function: We wanted to create a planner that would show at a glance what was coming up. One that could flexibly meet all needs - and also look cool. That's how we came up with the idea of colorful dots.
Even more creative
At some point, we wanted to use our idea of adhesive dots even more creatively: as pixel art. Because sticking is a lot of fun, super easy, and looks really good too. At the same time, we developed a tool with our dotsmakermaker Didi that can dot your own photos.
On "Die Höhle der Löwen"
On a whim, fueled by a celebratory glass of sparkling wine, we ventured into the start-up show and presented our adhesive dot idea. There, we managed to impress Dr. Georg Kofler! That was the starting signal to turn our hobby into a profession and a big step closer to our goal of making the world a more "adhesive-worthy" place.
We are excellent
A special highlight for us was the "Ideenstark" award – a state competition with an award and funding program for creative businesses in Baden-Württemberg. The program supported the award-winning creative entrepreneurs from various sectors and disciplines with qualification offers, coaching, and a strong network – and gave us a lot of momentum for our next entrepreneurial steps.
XXL Pixel Art
Based on a customer request, we developed pixel art adhesive dots measuring 2 cm. For the first time, a huge wall will be decorated outdoors at a trade fair in Hanover. The concept was very well received – and we are optimizing the idea: The adhesive process will be even more sustainable, and there will be even more conceptual ideas...
Sustainability
We rely on sustainable materials, long-term partners, and regional production.
