Designer and Goldsmith

"To conceive and design products for renowned luxury houses, such as MONTBLANC, MONTEGRAPPA, LAMY and LOUIS VUITTON, requires experience and empathy in company philosophy and product strategy to inspire their customers with extraordinary products. I have been doing this for a long time – with a lot of passion and joy.
I design from the craft. I immerse myself in my own world in the workshop, with inspiration flowing from sketches to the work bench, embracing risk to find innovation in the application of materials, style and functionality.
These two realms complement each other perfectly for me as a designer and craftsman."
Jan Zander was born and raised in Hamburg. After completing his training as a jeweler and goldsmith and working for several years, he studied jewelry design at the University Pforzheim Faculty Design.
