Jonas' Design

Unique handmade furniture, made from reclaimed, repurposed and upcycled material and objects.

Jonas was born in Switzerland in 1976. He is a independent furniture designer but his background is in prosthetics and orthotics. He has been working in this field for the past 17 years in Switzerland, North Korea and China. In 2009 he decided to take a break from his career as a prosthetist in order to concentrate on furniture design. In 2010 he and his partner found an old factory building in Shanghai and renovated it to be their loft and studio.
Jonas always liked to work with his hands and started early to build his own furniture and lamps. Through his education and experience as a prosthetist he learned to work with a wide variety of materials like wood, leather, metal, resin, silicone, carbon fibre, textiles, plastics and many more.
