Ewalt Kommer and Jeroen Kors (both 1969) focus on creating designs with added functional value, driven more by emotional experience than by technical aesthetics. After gaining professional experience in Hamburg and Leiden, they established their design studio in Schoonhoven (NL). They met during their studies in The Hague and have since created a diverse range of products, from pens to sofas and from soap dispensers to exhibition stands. Their work has been recognised with several distinctions, including the Dutch Design Award in 2003.
