JBNG is a design studio, focused on object and space – founded in 2019 by Birkan Gülöz and Jonas Nussbaum in Cologne, Germany. Working as a team since their studies in product design, JBNG now works in the field of design consulting, conception and development for international clients. Every work represents a holistic design process, combining diverse experiences and influences from product design, architecture, craft and graphic design.

With an open mind and a passion for material and form, we work at the intersection between human and object. Featuring a formal language, sometimes technical, never emotionless and always intuitive to use, we create authentic and straight design with a functional and sculptural appearance.
