Jason Philips Design

Growing up in a family business where we manufacture furniture and decorative accessories overseas has given me the privilege of seeing the world and in doing so, made me a seasoned global traveler. I have been to Southeast Asia dozens of times, visiting Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and China. I have also travelled extensively throughout most of Western Europe, the United States, and Mexico. This has given me a great sensitivity and appreciation for foreign affairs, trade, and commerce.

Jörg Boner productdesign

Jörg Boner productdesign develops and designs products and spaces. We understand design and development work as a process that involves various people acting in a range of different fields. Our interest in design is stimulated where a project is situated within a particular context, where its background and specific aims can be articulated. We openly stand for author’s design. But it will always be seen as serving a client or a collection, or situated in the context of specific intentions and opportunities with respect to production technology.
