JONAS DAMON OFFICE FOR DESIGN

Jonas Damon founded Office for Design in 2001 to create objects rooted in the exploration of new ways to engage existing materials. Jonas Damon's process results in accessible and contextually relevant products for both client and consumer.

A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Jonas Damon was raised in Germany and worked in Paris and London before establishing Office for Design in New York City. In London he developed furniture and lighting for Tom Dixon's Eurolounge, before becoming a design manager at the European retail group Habitat UK. At Habitat he took part in rebuilding the in-house design team that generated a series of well executed and approachable products, reviving Habitat's reputation as the leading European retailer for home goods.

Office for Design's collaboration with clients ranges from the design of specific products and product lines to shaping the design process as whole, the latter most recently for noted manufacturers Dune (USA), Vitra (Switzerland), and Wedgwood (Great Britain).

The work of Jonas Damon and Office for Design has been published extensively and exhibited internationally.
