SHORT BIO

Joris Laarman was born in the countryside of the Netherlands near the border of germany in 1979. In 1998 after one year of fine arts he started his study at the Design Academy Eindhoven. After graduating cum laude in 2003 he gained notoriety with his functional rococo radiator heatwave that is acquired by international museums and won several awards. That same year he started his own independent joris Laarman studio. It concentrates on product design and architecture often combining a conceptual and poetic approach with style and engineering working for several well known international industrial design companies like Flos, Vitra, Swarovski, Droog and more.

Next to this he is working on a collection of highly unique experimental works with galleries Friedman Benda and Haunch of Venisson. He contributed in articles and seminars for Domus magazine and he was a guest teacher at European universities like the Architectural Association London, Rietveld academy Amsterdam and the Design Academy Eindhoven.
