Frank Tjepkema jokes that every designer’s portfolio includes a vase, but he believes design should also facilitate positive social change.

As a product designer Frank Tjepkema has designed a number of vases, lamps, jewellery collections and furniture. While his designs have earned him a number of awards, he instead talks about the function of design, ways in which it integrates and communicates with its subjects, and the effects of layering designs, both physically and socially.
