Where Philosophy Becomes Form

The Bio

Mokko's founder Aad Bos is an Amsterdam based product designer. Aad's work is characterized by a rhythmic interplay of monolithic volumes. Archetypal elements are balanced, weighed, and stripped from excess, until the essence of the inspiration is translated into a sculptural object that is emotionally resonant.

"Mokko sits at the intersection of perennial design and modernity. Very few designers straddle that line as well as Aad." - The Orb

The Conversation with Aad

Looking back, is there an early memory — an object, a place, or a person — that first awakened your sensitivity to form and beauty?

I was always captivated by the beauty of nature and also the grandeur of historical and antique architecture. As a child, I remember being fascinated by buildings like the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona or the Colosseum in Roma, not just for their size, but for the intricate details, the harmony of their forms, and the stories they tell through stone and space.

"The goal is to create timeless design and quality. Objects that cannot be placed in a certain time period or trend." - Aad

Makers and moments You often collaborate closely with artisans. Beyond the work itself, what have these relationships taught you about patience, humility, or even friendship?

It has taught me that true excellence requires a lot of skills and takes a lot of time. Perfect quality is a big part, so it will take as long as it takes to achieve perfection. And of course I learned a lot about patience and how to manage these situations. Beyond the work itself, these collaborations often lead to friendships, built on trust. It’s also an important part and this makes the collaboration easier and more interesting. I only work with artisans who share same vision and values.

Choose one material you return to again and again. What memory does it carry for you? Tell us about a time the material resisted your idea and how that resistance shaped the final form.

That is a difficult question, and honestly, I don't think I can choose just one material. But I find myself particularly drawn to natural materials like marble or wood. There's something deeply fascinating about working with them ; part of the process is beyond our control. I also love to work with metal as bronze ; we have so many possibilities and ways to work with it, and we can achieve an infinite variety of different shades and finishes.
