About tools

With For Inspiration Only Ianus Keller wants to give you better tools. Tools are products that become valuable by the way you use them. Good tools extend your capabilities. Great tools go beyond that and allow you to create things you or any other haven’t even thought of. For Inspiration Only wants to create tools that inspire, enable and empower you.
The most succesful and prominent tool is Cabinet. A tool that helps designers grow and organize their collections of visual material for inspiration. It was part of Ianus Keller’s PhD research entitled For Inspiration Only.
