Frank Tjepkema pairs artistic invention with design that works in the real world, across a range of disciplines. He is owner and creative director of design studio Tjep., and creative director of contemporary jewellery brand OYUKIO.

Founded in 2001 by Frank Tjepkema, Tjep. is an Amsterdam-based design studio working across jewellery, products, furniture, interiors, public spaces and architecture. It pairs bold artistic vision with sharp commercial instinct, moving between acclaimed commissions — from Schiphol to the entrance gate of Paleis Het Loo — and provocative gallery pieces such as the Recession Chair, Bling Bling and Oogst that challenge conventions and reflect the spirit of the times, often with a touch of irony but always crafted with passion. Tjep.’s work is held in collections including the Centre Pompidou, the Stedelijk Museum and Cooper Hewitt.
