Internship: Industrial Product Design

Internship:
Industrial Product Design February 2027 - June 2027

VANMOKUM is on the lookout for the best industrial design student to support its product development team. You’ll be working as an all-round intern for a period of 5 months, starting from Februari 2027 until the end of June 2027( other periods can be discussed).

Here you’ll be part of our product development team and involved in everything that has to do with product design. Your opinion and input is much appreciated and an experience like this will serve as an excellent foundation for your future as a product designer.

This internship concerns a regular internship, not a graduation internship...sorry!

So, what exactly will you do?

You will have the opportunity to work on developing products of famous designers like Piet Hein Eek and Graypants and therefore contribute a little bit to the design history.

The focus is on product design and engineering.

Your job is to get products ready from sketch to production, which means that at the end of your internship you've learned 'the practical side' of things. You will work on sketching, drawing up 3D cad models, testing prototypes, making 3D prints and assemble products. Besides this, you will be managing your own projects and communicate with (new and existing) suppliers.

Now and then, you might get invited to join us on a trip (abroad) to build up a stand at a fair to see how our products are actually presented to the market. A great reward for every designer to see their products being enjoyed by design lovers.

Sounds like a real job doesn't it? Don’t worry, there is room to make mistakes. At the end of the day this is the only way to learn! During this period, we are right beside you for good guidance (oh, and let’s not forget a nice financial compensation..).

Period: beginning of February 2027 until the end ofJune 2027. (other periods can be discussed)

Okay, and who are you?

We’re looking for someone that is dedicated to their projects, is a fast learner and likes to take initiative. Do you describe yourself as ambitious, motivated, adaptable and independent but also a great team-player? Yep, then we’re looking for you. A passion for design and technology speaks for itself, but you also need a high tolerance of stress and your sense of detail and overview must be in balance (just as your creativity and engineering skills).

Therefore, you like to work in details and are very precise
-or- willing to push yourself to become a real perfectionist.

What would we need from you?

You'll be working with Solidworks and Rhino, so you should get yourself acquainted with it (even better - you're already efficient in it).

You know how to work with Adobe Indesign,Illustrator and Photoshop

You have some experience with 3D printing and prototyping

You like to work with your hands, like putting up some light fixtures to see if they fit the space
-or- to assemble some products in our workshop.

Knowledge of Arduino/Electronics would be a much appreciated bonus

Your English should be good both in verbal and written communication. Any other language you speak is, again, a nice extra!

Your CV (you can upload it under "Resume") and Portfolio (you can upload this under "Portfolio").

Enough about you, let’s talk about us!
If we haven’t convinced you by now this internship is perfect for you, get ready for what we have to offer!
From our studio/showroom in Amsterdam-Noord and from our workshop in Almere, we design, develop and admire beautiful and unique products. Our own brands are Graypants, Frama and Piet Hein Eek lighting. Every brand represents a different style and has their own story – one that you’ll be representing. Besides producing our own labels, we’re also distributor for several other lighting brands.
