About

I am a product designer who believes that artistry happens in the invisible space; between the object and its user. Based in Amsterdam, I collaborate with various companies and design studios, realising projects that span a wide range of product and furniture design. In every project, I strive to blend functionality with innovative ideas, transforming everyday objects into creations that challenge conventional views and archetypes. www.jarokose.com
