Jelle Haverkort

Jelle Haverkort is a Dutch product designer who dissects the way material takes shape, accentuating the aesthetics of construction in a new context. His products carry a clear form-follows-function character: starting from a constant need to understand the origin of things, he converts standard production into new applications, giving connections and joints a new meaning.

The result is a pared-back, powerful and minimalist image, in which getting the best out of material and construction is the design work itself. He holds a BA in Product Design from the University of the Arts Utrecht (HKU), and his pieces have been shown at Isola Talent Factory during Dutch Design Week, We Love Objects at Oud Amelisweerd and Object Rotterdam.
