What?
Tjep. works in a diversity of fields: from a Tiara for Princess Maxima to a nest consisting of giant rubber branches as a sofa. From the development of Champagen Popcorn for Volkswagen to complete interiors and identities for restaurants, schools and shops. Tjep. was founded by Frank Tjepkema and Janneke Hooymans. From their studio in Amsterdam, and with a small team of highly motivated designers they work for companies such as Droog, British Airways, Camper, Heineken and Ikea. Why? In a world becoming increasingly technological and materialistic the urgency is to concentrate on the meaning of things, their cultural and emotional value, rather than merely solving functional problems in order to create new ones. With this in mind Tjep.'s objective is to combine conceptual innovative ideas with functional intelligence and visual elegance. How? We specialize in 3D projects devised over the following fields: - Product design - Accessorie design - Furniture design - Interior design & interior architecture - Identity design - Art direction - Special projects (experimental projects in the cultural field or special events) Tjep. clients Amsterdam Art Foundation / The City of Amsterdam / Arco / Artwise Curators / Gijs Bakker Design / De Bijenkorf / Bam Bam / British Airways / Chi Ha Paura...? / Design Academy Eindhoven / Droog Design / Do / Feadship / Friedman Benda / Heineken / Hoogstad Architects / ING Private Banking / Ikea Systems / KesselsKramer / Levis Red / Museum Het Kruithuis / Kunst & Bedrijf / Museum Nemo / NS / Oilily / Praq / Present Time / Privium / Radio 1 / Randstad / Rado / Roobol / SNS Bank / Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam / Stroom / Gerrit Rietveld Academy Amsterdam / Strawberryfrog / Thonik Tjep. people Frank Tjepkema (1970) Multi disciplinary designer and founder of Tjep. graduated cum laude from the design academy in Eindhoven.
