Hi, I am Jakub Žanony, young multidisciplinary designer from Slovakia. Over the years I have developed a strong passion for form and function, I am a strong believer in the importance of compositon and good proportions. My designs are simple and functional with small jokes sprinkled in that makes them more human and personal. In my spare time I mostly enjoy film photography as I love the feeling of using old mechanical cameras and focus on haptics that went into their design. When i am taking photos, I am free to fully immerse myself in the moment and focus purely on composing the frame. Feel free to contact me!

Funicular

 2019

Funicular for Prague's Petřin tower
I was inspired by the shape of the petrin tower, with my funicular I tried to compliment its form. I was bored of classic tram like shape. My aproach was more architectural. I wanted to make it feel more like an outdoor elevator with great view of Prague. Glass gives the design an airy feeling. The design has an elevated front for open movement.
