Jan, our colleague from Rotterdam, has been working as an interior designer and furniture maker since the age of 25. It’s one of his many passions, alongside visiting museums, reading science fiction novels and biographies, and enjoying music.
He does the latter both at concerts and with the help of a good sound system. "Music from a phone or laptop I really can't listen to," he says.
A true purist, then, with a diverse taste in music. Because jazz, disco, heavy metal and even opera music are styles he can really enjoy. With his diverse taste in music, he's bound to add to our Atelier 19 playlist a lot more!
Jan is an avid reader, easily finishing two books a month. With his museum pass, he also makes sure to visit at least one museum every month. You could say he starts his day with a healthy dose of art and culture!
Be sure to ask him about his sock collection! Under his work clothes, he sports the most colorful and quirky socks. Think designs featuring sushi, rubber ducks, or tompouces. Which pair is his favorite? He honestly can’t choose—as long as they bring a bit of cheer, he loves them all!
