Meet the creators of Crdl

Meet the creators of Crdl

The CRDL was created by two friends, Dennis Schuivens and Jack Chen, while they were enrolled in the Master's program in Architecture and Design at the Sandberg Institute in the Netherlands. For their graduation project, they spent three months working at a care institution to explore how design could improve the quality of life for people with dementia. 

After four years of testing and prototyping, the first CRDL was finally ready for production in 2016. The founders believe that all humans are intrinsically deeply connected and that care is more than a service; it is an act of compassion.

Endorsed by professionals:

  • “I work as an individual caregiver where I provide care and support for people with severe multiple disabilities. In my work I am always looking for new ways to connect and engage with our clients, and I’ve been enthusiastic about the Crdl from the start. Our clients really respond to it! When using it, some are amazed by it, others become relaxed, while others are filled with laughter. However, it can also trigger emotionally moving moments. Those encounters can really touch me. The Crdl is a particularly valuable addition to the personalized care we offer our clients. I just think it’s a great invention.”
    Patricia, Caregiver
