Joris Laarman Studio is an established practice that designs and produces unique objects of various scales – from furniture to architecture – focusing on narratives around future technologies and their relationship to human craftsmanship. The studio employs digital fabrication and computational design as the main tools in their practice, but they also work a lot with skilled makers in their in-house workshops. The studio is based on Hembrug, a revitalized former military industrial area in Zaandam, the outskirts of Amsterdam.
