Meet the Designer: Josh Jakus is a Berkeley, California based designer dedicated to making experiential connections between form and function. When people use one of Joshs products, they naturally encounter the way it was conceived and developed. Achieving such connections requires a strict material sensibility using materials in their simplest form so intrinsic qualities show through and a rigorous design efficiency that strives to get the most impact out of the fewest moves. Josh founded his design practice in 2005 as a way of continuing his lifelong interest in the nature of structure, space, and materials.
Green Fact :Reusing materials is an important step in the quest to divert waste from landfills. The EPA says that the United States produces approximately 220 million tons of garbage each year.
