Timeline

2014

Tjepkema unveiled Bronze Age in October 2014 at the Colloredo Mansfeld Palace during Designblok Prague. The collection included furniture pieces, handcrafted out of bronze. Bronze Age stemmed from the Tjep.'s 2011 Recession Chair—a mass-produced Ikea chair reduced in part to a skeletal shape. The collection received a lot of media attention. Prague Post wrote that "even though the collection is based on the classic furniture terminology, it focuses on cultural, environmental and conceptual themes."

Light Bridge, a light installation that Tjepkema installed on a bridge along Amstel river during the Amsterdam Light Festival of 2014, was made up of 1200 lights reacting to movements like bicycles passing over the bridge it was attached to or boats passing beneath from the Amstel. Design Boom positively reviewed Lightbridge writing that "[Tjep.] has created a luminous, undulating installation along the amstel in the center of the city."

2013

Tjepkema collaborated with DutchDNA in 2013 to develop jewellery and furniture items from the DNA of people. The collection was presented at Ventura Lambrate during the Salone Del Mobile in Milano under the title “Future Nostalgia." DutchDNA's CEO Erik Wolthuis had the idea to design jewellery first through genetic mapping. He reached out to Tjepkema with the idea, and after realising the potential genetic data had to augment design, they expanded to furniture. Following the initial show at Milan, Tjep. opened to commissioned projects for DNA furniture. Wired Magazine wrote about the idea that, "Tjepkema and Wolthuis seem to have tapped into a new way of humanizing data...and used it to create something beautiful and practical."

In 2013, Tjepkema and his company designed Isolée, which was a model three story retreat home that was self-sufficient. The house had tree-like spindles of photovoltaic panels that sprout from its roof, supplying enough energy to recharge the batteries in the home’s LED lights. Two sides of the building envelope were clad in hinged slats of wood, which could be opened or closed depending on the weather. The design of the house received positive reviews with Fast writing that "Tjep deserves kudos for imagining the future" and PSFK writing that "although it is intended to be a retreat from the modern world, it is also a testament to it."

Tjepkema launched a jewellery collection, Clockwork Love in 2013. The collection included multi-layered paper hearts designed and created by Tjepkema. Tjepkema made the hearts using paper and acrylic. They were made in a gold collection, Clockwork Love Gold, and a white collection, Clockwork Love Paper, and were first shown as part of an exhibition at Gallery Ra in Amsterdam. Each heart in the collection represented different heart moods. Trend Hunter wrote about the collection that "made to look mechanical, they are stunning pendants that represent the complexity of the heart and the feeling of love."

2001

After initially working for Philips Design, he set up his own design studio called Tjep. together with Janneke Hooymans in 2001. Through Tjep., he has worked with Ikea, British Airways, Philips and Heineken. Tjepkema has designed products, furniture and accessories. He has also worked with restaurants and other establishments for the development of concepts and interiors notably important areas of Schiphol Airport Lounge 3 and Lounge 4.

He has taught at various institutes including Design Academy Eindhoven, the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, Universidad Iberoamericana Mexico City, Iceland Academy of The Arts Reykjavik, The Acadia Summer Arts Program Maine USA. He also lectured at Design Academy Eindhoven, The Universidad Iberoamericano Mexico City, and Iceland Academy of the Arts Reykjavik. He was Head of Department at the Amsterdam Rietveld Academy from 2001 to 2004.

2000

Tjepkema's graduation project was selected for the Droog Design collection which eventually resulted in several collaborations between the two. In 2000, he worked with Droog on Do Break, the British Airways Executive Lounge at London Heathrow in 2004 and the Chair of Textures, which was introduced at Art Basel Miami in collaboration with Friedman Benda in 2006. The design for British Airways executive lounge won the Dutch Design award in 2004.
