LED in the lead with JAPTH and VANMOKUM
AMSTERDAM - VANMOKUM and sustainable LED design collective JAPTH are joining forces. VANMOKUM will be responsible for exclusive and worldwide distribution. Aart van Rooij and Eduard Sweep will continue to focus on JAPTH's product development and marketing.
JAPTH is an initiative of designers Aart and Eduard. They have been working together for years and have years of experience in interior and product design. JAPTH stands for high quality, responsible use of materials, and subtle design with a distinct character.
The production takes place in the Netherlands using socially responsible and sustainable methods and ways of working. The lamps are manufactured by hand by people who have difficulty finding a job on their own.
In addition, in each of the designs, the possibilities of LED are optimally used, with a quirky collection as a result. For this, JAPTH collaborates with well-known Dutch names in the design world and young up-and-coming talent from its own soil. The design collection includes various unique lamps: from floor lamps to pendant lamps, for living rooms to shop interiors, functional, timeless, but above all surprising. All this can be found in JAPTH. In short: Just A Perfect Thing.
Founded in 2011, Amsterdam-based VANMOKUM has been responsible for the product development, production, and distribution of various iconic high-end lighting brands such as Graypants, Frama and Droog. VANMOKUM is also an importer of Ay illuminate and Seletti. VANMOKUM supplies its lighting brands to both the best furniture and design shops and to the project market, for which in recent years impressive installations have been realised for
hotels, restaurants, and offices of renowned clients such as the Hilton, AIRBNB, Starbucks, Google, Coca Cola, and ABN Amro.
Arno Ruijzenaars of VANMOKUM: "The cooperation with JAPTH fits exactly into our strategy to expand VANMOKUM both as an importer and as a brand owner in the lighting category in the coming years. It's very cool to start working with Aart and Eduard, but also with Richard Hutten and the other designers of this label!
Aart van Rooij: 'We found an ideal partner in VANMOKUM to further market JAPTH together. With their years of experience and expertise in the international design market, we are convinced that with the enthusiastic VANMOKUM team, we can realise our joint creative ambition!
