From an interview by Greg J. Smith at Serial Consign:
Catalogtree is a multidisciplinary design studio based in the city of Arnhem in the Netherlands and formed by Joris Maltha and Daniel Gross. "We met at the Werkplaats Typografie (a 2-year graphic design masters program in Arnhem, NL) in 1999. We shared a great interest in generative systems and media independent design and worked on some web-sites together. We started Catalogtree.net as a webspace we shared with some friends. It's a technical term for filing structures - files within folders within folders, etc. We used it as a testing site for ideas and sketches in any media. We discussed projects and shared technical knowledge. Over time, as real commissions came in, it gradually turned into a portfolio site (though we still like to upload sketches) run only by the two of us. We only started using it as a name to work under a few years ago."
"If the data allows it, we like to break down information into a graphical hierarchy similar to poster designs: a larger motive or trend is visible at first glance, and more detailed information becomes clear on closer inspection."—Read more here.
