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!

Scissors

 2020

Scissors for paper
Inspired by massive tailor scissors. I was always fascinated by the respect which they commanded. I tried to work with the mass and radicality and find harmony between them. Also put a big emphasis on ergonomics. Through this project I studied the best ways to hold the scissors and that influenced my design and how would I liked them personaly.
