Job description

So, who are you?

We’re looking for someone that is dedicated to their projects, is a fast learner and likes to take initiative. Do you describe yourself as ambitious, motivated, adaptable and independent but also a great team-player? Yep, than we’re looking for you. A passion for design and technology speaks for itself, but you also need a high tolerance of stress and your sense of detail and overview must be in balance (just as your creativity and engineering skills).

Okay, but what exactly will you do?

The focus is on product design, product development, and brand building. Besides this, you will also work on developing the context of a product (like packaging design etc.). You will have the opportunity to work on projects of famous designers like Piet Hein Eek and Richard Hutten and therefore contribute a little bit to the design history.

But, don’t worry, there is room to make mistakes. At the end of the day this is the only way to learn! During this period, we are right beside you for good guidance (oh, and let’s not forget a nice financial compensation..). Period: beginning of September till February 2019. (other periods can be discussed)

Enough about you, let’s talk about us!

If we haven’t convinced you by now this internship is perfect for you, get ready for what we have to offer!

From our studio in Amsterdam we design, develop and admire beautiful and unique products. Our own brands are LEFF amsterdam, Droog, Frama, Karven, Graypants and our latest asset: Soundskins. Every brand represents a different style and has their own story – one that you’ll be representing. Besides producing our own labels, we’re also distributor for several other design brands. This means our team covers inside and outside sales, PR and the full distribution. We sell to high-end design and interior stores, museum stores, department stores and several project customers like hotels, clubs and restaurants.

To conclude: You’ll be working for not one, but several amazing brands! We collaborate with renowned designers from all over the world to create unique products. For every project we have the ambition to create a design classic.

Last but not least

You live in Amsterdam or you are willing to move/travel to this beautiful city…and (more importantly) love friday afternoon drinks!
