This is an exciting opportunity for Grasshopper / Rhino specialists with technical skills and a good eye for aesthetics.
Joris Laarman Studio (www.jorislaarman.com) is an established practice that designs and produces unique objects of various scale - from furniture to architecture - focusing on narratives around future technologies and their relationship to human craftsmanship. We employ digital fabrication and computational design as main tools in our practice, but also work a lot with skilled makers in our in-house workshop. Our studio is based in Hembrug, a revitalized former military industrial area in the outskirts of Amsterdam.
We are looking for a competent, curious and enthusiastic designer to join our team. Their tasks would include:
- independent work on (parametric) 3D-models under good coordination with our Creative Director as well as our production team;
- work on visualisations for customers and other stakeholders;
- taking charge of multiple design projects;
- working on deliverables for weekly sprints and presenting the results during project meetings;
- creative input on new ideas for sellable products that align with the studio’s vision;
- R&D and physical prototyping.
We are looking for people with the following expertise:
- A degree related to Design, Architecture or Engineering;
- Excellent Rhino/Grasshopper skills. The candidate should possess both a parametric modeling mindset and a good eye for “hand-modeling” geometries such as SubDs. Scripting in C#/Python (RhinoCommon, rhinoscriptsyntax) is a plus.
- Experience with KeyShot or other rendering software.
- Experience with Adobe products and/or Miro.
- Experience with 3D-printing and other digital fabrication techniques is highly cherished.
- Good communication skills in English (written and spoken). Dutch skills are a plus.
Applicants are welcome to send their CV, portfolio and a brief introduction to info@jorislaarman.com
