Studio Zoran Strijbosch is driven by an unwavering passion for the fusion of (art) history and design. Our work blends industrial aesthetics, historical influences, and contemporary craftsmanship into timeless objects—each piece telling a story of material, movement, and meaning. With a deep respect for the past, we create high-quality, handcrafted designs that bridge eras, inviting people to engage with objects in a more tactile and meaningful way. For us, design is not just about form or function; it’s about crafting immersive experiences that transport, resonate, and endure.Zoran Strijbosch is a designer whose passion for materials and production began at a young age. As a child, he spent a lot of time in his father’s factory, Strijbosch Acrylics Unlimited, in Amsterdam. From the age of 16, he worked in production at SAU, which further developed his curiosity and skills. This hands-on experience led him to study product design at the HKU, where he honed his expertise in acrylic materials. With his own workshop in Amsterdam, Zoran has the freedom to create handcrafted products that bring his design vision to life. Beyond his work, Zoran has a deep love for his city, Amsterdam, his football club Ajax, and a passion for the Casual lifestyle and fashion. These diverse interests converge at Studio Zoran Strijbosch, where he expresses his creative vision in every piece he designs.
