Jaroslav Juřica

Jaroslav Juřica was born in 1980. He received his bachelor's degree at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno, where he studied product design. He then moved north and spent his master's studies at the School of Design at Lund University in Sweden. In 2008 he worked at the Dutch studio Demakersvan and in the autumn of the same year he participated in the S.T.A.R. Design programme. In 2010, he completed his studies in sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts. As he says, he designs products because they need design to succeed in a competitive market. His work is not limited by material or profession, so he works on projects ranging from paper to concrete. He sees design as a dialogue between production and management, whose needs are often different for a product.
