Journal
Sharing the same vision and values, we teamed up as friends — Joko in old-Japanese — and started an online journal to portray inspiring places, objects and people. An initiative that naturally led us towards the beginning of Studio Joko.
Coffee Sometime, Amsterdam
A singular spark of Scandinavian minimalism settled down in the heart of Amsterdam. Persuaded by the fragrant aroma of freshly brewed coffee in the air, we slow down our pass to warm welcome this new local charm to the city’s café culture.
Atelier Paradis, Amsterdam
Welcome to Atelier Paradis - a studio, boutique and the creative world of Dutch designer Patricia Hofstede. Atelier Paradis is housed in a small space, complemented by the charm of Amsterdam's oldest neighbourhood: the Jordaan. Greeted by a palmtree outside the store, we enter the place in awe. As we wander around, we suddenly feel this tendency to experience and touch every object, and every material.
Adiuvantes, Amsterdam
Just like a series of photographs is telling a story, every clothing piece or object covers a chapter as well. We surround ourselves with objects, sometimes unaware of history or origin. Where does it come from? Who made it? And why should we cherish it? With her store Adiuvantes, Femke Mulder aims to narrate the journey of every garment she curates.
Time & Style, Amsterdam
Time & Style exhibits Japanese designs, traditional crafts and contemporary art by expressing Japanese aesthetics of today and lifestyles rooted in tradition. From delicate Japanese handmade furniture to daily commodities and bonsai trees; every piece is uniquely designed in Japan.
