Alissia Melka-Teichroew & Jan Habraken

Industrial Designers

Married couple Alissia Melka-Teichroew and Jan Habraken are some of the most interesting new talents on the New York design scene. Their clever, witty and stylish products are steadily attracting attention from top design press and retailers.

"A great young photographer with whom we [did work] closely in 2008. Her photos are strong even though the topics are very different, there is a determination in her work, that we appreciate and draw inspiration from. "

"Amazing, beautiful intricate work, what else can you say! "

"We love Greetje's latest project where she grew sugar crystals on necklaces, rings and bracelets. She has given so much value and beauty to such a banal material/food. Not only was she able to play with this perception of value, she also created pieces that you WANT to wear, have and give. "

"Graphic design and illustration remains so magical, you can create such a presence, a brand, vision with just 2D. We think Si Scott is a great example. "

"If you haven't seen his work before, you MUST take a look at all the pieces he has done now! Jan's favorite series is the Paradise Portraits. "

"Great clips, dogs, bunnies, music, what else do you want! We just discovered this site through our friend Jo Meesters and it's so visually compelling. "

"These pieces are beautiful. Even without them being worn, the details are great and everything is refined. Alissia can't wait to see more from him. "

"We saw a show of this guy's work at Espeis Archetype Gallery. The work is intricate and curious. It pulls you in and you want to keep looking at the pieces. "

"Slick! Humorous! The Monkeys & Apes part 1 + 2 series are our favorites. "

"Great reference site for artists and designers, like Helmut Smits (whose work Jan really enjoys), the container ship power supply by Giffin'Termeer, Sarah van Gameren and many more. "
