2025 REEL

We are Merlin — a Code Boutique.
Settled in 2018 in the Lowlands to prove what’s possible.
We exist to redefine what “good” means by raising the bar through the work itself.
We work with extraordinary brands and creative teams who refuse to settle. Those who see digital not as output, but as identity and long-term advantage.
At our core is deep, multidisciplinary craft. We bring motion-first design and code together as one practice, shaped by specialists who care deeply about every decision.
Merlin helps you maximize your digital potential, transforming design, technology, and motion into expressive, reliable, and future-ready experiences.
We prove what’s possible through care, courage, and relentless craft.
Imagine. Code. Magic.

New Work.
Experience Histor “MY color creator”, powered by AI and a natural language interface to find the color that reflects your personality.
Crafted by our UX, motion, and development team, the tool feels like a poetic interplay of blending and thinking.
A metaphor for both mixing paint and an intelligent entity guiding you through the experience.
Oh, there's a bunch of WebGL too! 👀😜

We’re proud to introduce our INT member: @MerlinDotStudioawwwards.com/MerlinStudio/
Merlin calls itself a “Code Boutique” — a fancy way of saying they craft immersive web experiences, websites, and digital campaigns.
Show them some ❤️ and dive into their incredible work!
Using CSS Grid, we rebuild grid systems from Figma with a small trick: instead of relying on margins, we use extra columns.
This lets us create full-width spans without breaking the layout.
For responsive designs, we simplify the grid to a 4-column or similar setup, keeping everything clear and consistent across devices. It’s a system that’s fast, efficient, and reliable—helping us get layouts right the first time.
CSS Grid even allows us to define the start, end, or spanning length of an item.
These new ways of developing web experiences allow us to work smarter, and thus faster than others. Being able to rapidly create a perfect layout allows us to put more time into focussing on the details and crafting award-winning work @MerlinDotStudio.
