Born in 1985, Dutch designer and artist Joost Joseph van Veldhuizen established his own design studio in 2009. Named VanJoost, the studio completes product design, furniture design, and lighting design projects. Minimalist yet also idiosyncratic, VanJoost’s designs aim to “bend the norm” and to offer a new perspective in the world of contemporary design. In 2015, Joost Joseph van Veldhuizen co-founded Karven, a brand of handmade lighting. The designer’s projects include a wooden hanging cradle designed for gardens, a sculptural brazier, an extra-long table designed specially for large get-togethers or extended families, and the Roest lighting collection created in collaboration with Graypants.
