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 champaign popcorn for Volkswagen to complete interiors and identities for restaurants, schools and shops. Tjep. was founded by Frank Tjepkema, such a unpronounceable name required a design intervention in itself, which resulted in Frank's agency name: Tjep.
Tjep. consists of a small team of highly motivated designers based in Amsterdam and working for companies such as Droog, British Airways, Camper, Heineken and Ikea.
In every project the objective is to challenge conventional views, every project starts with a 'why?'. The execution, on the other hand, should be a delicious cocktail combining innovative ideas with functionality and visual elegance. Ultimately we are designing to add a little quality, energy and amazement to the world.
We specialize in 3D projects devised over the following fields:
- Product design
- Accessories design
- Furniture design
- Interior design & interior architecture
- Identity design
- Art direction
- Special projects (experimental projects in the cultural field or special events)
