Jonas Van Put
Designer Jonas Van Put’s enthusiasm is infectious. His installations and experimental furniture explore the relationship between humans and the environment and sow the seeds for extraordinary collective and personal experiences. What Jonas makes are not objects you hang on the wall, but designs you want to experience. “The simple construction allows the objects to circulate easily and contextually throughout the city, from event to garden, park and school, from museum to nightclub.”
