Dutch industrial designer Jan Habraken studied architecture at the Design Academy Einhoven, the influence of which can be seen in much of his design. After years of collaborating with the successful design firm WATdesign, Habraken set off on his own and founded Studio Jan Habraken, now based in Brooklyn. This studio spans various disciplines including furniture, product, and exhibit design, and architecture. The success of Habraken's designs is attributed to his combination of the classic and the quirky and his understanding of his roles as designer, manufacturer, and retailer. Habraken collaborates with his wife, designer Alissia Melka-Teichroew (BY:AMT), and other designers on various projects including the new line of furniture silhouettes for blik.
